Not sure when I was last here. Been a while. We had a house fire Spring 2016. Lost about everything. We had to sell all of the livestock. Save for Bob's pet rabbit Buddy and the escape artist rabbit Michael and my daughter's pet duck, Mae. It took us a bit to find a new place and relocate. We ended up relocating 700 + miles south of where we were living. From NorthEast Wisconsin to North Central Kentucky.
It has taken us a bit of time to get this place to farmable. This place had been left to go wild for at least 10 years. Everything is overgrown and wild. We have slowly been buying new livestock.
We currently have 4 sheep, the males will be eaten, the females will be bred once we get an unrelated male. The two goats we have are mother and son. The son is up for sale or he may just go to auction. We have a pair of American Guniea Hogs and a trio of Mangalitsa Hogs. Our chickens at are 5 California White pullets, 5 Black Sex link pullets, 6 Buff Orpingtons, 6 Cuckoo Marans. I have 25 Docking chicks scheduled to arrive in June.
Our Rabbits are 2 Blue Beveren does, 1 Mini Satin Buck, 1 New Zealand Red Buck, 1 Broken Black New Zealand Buck, 2 meat mutt does and a pair of mini rex.
Will be a while before we have all the livestock we need to get things back to profitable.
