Other Pets and Livestock

At last count.....35 or so goats, 150 birds (guineas, turkeys, chickens, etc.) 1 fat genormous old sheep, 6 dogs (2 pyrs, an Anatolian, 1 Newfoundland, 2 poodles....(They're my husbands...ha ha), 8 cats (2 in the house, 6 in the barn, all fixed shelter rescues), 1 rat, 1 Patagonian Cavy, 1 bearded dragon, 1 prairie dog, a Betta fish, and a ferret...most of these are rescues, as well.
My poor husband....thank goodness he's the tolerant sort, eh?

Do you milk the goats to bring in a pay check in order to feed everyone? That's quite a crew of critters!
 
We milk the ones worth milking, even some of the boers, though I've found they have a much shorter lactation. What the bottle babies don't consume I make cheese, ice cream, fudge, and Coconut cream pie with.
I also work at a TSC so I can get the discounts, and try to barter for what I can (hay, etc.).

Even with the discounts and bartering that's a big crew to feed. I'm glad you are able to as it sounds like a lot of rescues! :thumbsup
 
you do have alot of livestock to tend to.an i do feel for you on your feed bill.but hey feed bills are small when you love what you do.
 
I will never be rich but I am happy....they love me and I love them.
No big screen tv or fancy car can show you the love these guys show us.
