I am new to farming! Raised in the city, my husband and I have envisioned "country life" for a long time and we have a house in the country on 5 acres now. We had so much work to do on the house, that we could not start raising anything right off the bat, but I think this Spring we can at least start with some chickens, rabbits and some milking goats. (Maybe we won't get them all on the same day! :D) We are excited to have our own eggs, our own milk, and enjoy some good, honest hard work. We have a 6 year old son that loves our new place and he is looking forward to being raised a 4-H kid!

Since we are new at this, I will be looking for tips and advice on the best breeds for dairy goats, the best laying hens that can run around with the goats, etc.

Thank you, and everyone have a good week!
