How many here are actual backyarders vs. Farmers?

Farmer. I live way out in the country and have horses, etc.

Farmer/rancher.

We've got cattle (mostly beef, with a couple dairy cows), goats (mostly meat, with a couple dairy goats), 4 LGDs (Great Pyrenees), guineas, chickens, and barn cats. Hope to get some honey bees soon.

I consider myself a backyarder although I am out in the country with farms around me. I only have chickens, a garden dogs and a few barn cats I feed. But do love country living.

Both.

I live on 32 acres out in the sticks, have meat goats, egg layers and meat chickens. Added turkeys this year.

I also own a house in the city on a 50' x 100' lot. I rent it to a friend of mine who takes care of my chickens living there. I got the chickens when I lived in that house and he likes them and sells eggs to the neighbors.
