Loving the herd life
That what we are doing, my fiance and I. I'm not sure just how much land his dad gave us, it's mostly fenced, has a pond & garden plot, and thick with trees save for the 2-3 acers of grass. I think it's around 11-15 all together. We have a three goats, all does one is bred for march kidding. And we have a tiro of rabbits, but they mite be too old to breed or eat. This year is going to be a big one for us, we'll get geese, chickens & guineas, as well as more goats and rabbits. In the mix of that we are building our little house. This will be my first time to have a garden. And we are getting merried this fall. It is all very very exciting.
We want to add sheep, hogs, and at some point {maybe after getting more land} cattle. I want to focus on rare breeds, like cotton patch geese, navjo-churro sheep, silver fox rabbits. He doesn't care so long as we have meat, they are easy to handle, and I'm happy. Lol.
We also have horses, and 7+ dogs.
Does anyone else run a full range of stock on a smaller holding?
ETA: I'd like to meet other like minded people in NE Oklahome/NW Arkansas
