I love goats, Sheep, Horses, cows, roosters, bison, ducks but we live on a normal house with a large yard- just enough to fit chickens and dogs. I really wish we had a huge farm.

Lol yeah, I mistake turkey vultures for hawks too. They get pretty low to the ground as well so it always freaks me out~

YOU HAVE TURKEYS? I LOVE TURKEYS!!!!!!!!!!

Turkeys (More hatching out right now), Geese, Pheasants, Guineas, Chickens, Ducks, Call ducks, Seramas, bantams. And those are just my birds I've got cows, pigs, goats, and horses as well. (Getting 2 sheep soon)

I have so many photos, It's driving me crazy trying to decide which one I should enter for the BYC calendar

WOW! Yeah Those vultures get to low! Could they be a danger? We have a Tough Crow who always attacks them when they get to close. That is why I love crows

Since vultures are carrion eaters they rarely bother anything that can move away or fight back.

When I see 7 or 8 flying it usually means something the size of a deer or larger is dying. When I see them one of the first things I do is see if one of my goats is in trouble.
