nice variety. How long have you raised animals & do you have a hobby farm or larger?

Not me. No piglets here right now.

I am on 14 acres and basically it is a hobby farm but does produce us a decent income. I've raised animals in one way or another since I could walk. My parents raised and showed dalmatians for 40 years. They dabbled in German pinschers for a few years and I had miniature pinschers.

I've seen a lot the past couple of months. I don't know much about raising pigs but there's been maybe 5 different people post pigs.

Sounds like you had a childhood full of animals

lots of puppies and dogs got horses when I was 17 (much to my parents surprise ) chickens came in 2010, ducks came in 2011, quail came in 2015 (but I'm selling out of quail). Pigs came in December of 2015. I've had horses since 2003. I have had cattle and goats on the past but either got rid of them or put them in the freezer

How did you manage to get a surprise horse at 17? Lol I use to bring everything home growing up. Half dead kittens, puppies, adult cats and a few turtles. I have chickens, 3 guinea pigs, 5 cats and 2 dogs now. I used to raise pygmy goats and rabbits. The goats were sweet and I had trouble selling them because I was too attached( a few were bottle babies). The rabbits were mean no matter how much I worked with them. I love animals, if I had more money and space I'd save more.

I got a MinPin for my son when my first husband and I split up. He lived to be almost 14. Loved that dog so much!

Well, I had been working and saving money...decided I wanted a horse. Didn't have enough space for a big one at the time so I bought a miniature. Still got the ole girl at 14 years old now. Best horse I've ever had

I wanted to show, decided I wanted o be different from mom and I loved the tiny min pins. I had 4 or 5. Showed them to grand champion titles and every thing. Not sure what happened there but I got out of that and into horses
