Do you raise alpacas? We were actually considering getting into something like this. It would be way out of my knowledge zone though. We don't have horses, I don't want to mess with a beef. We have right around 2 acres of irrigated pasture and besides letting the neighbors use it I would trying to think of different things we could do. Other thoughts have been a big pumpkin patch or raise Christmas trees. Alpacas are pretty spendy to get started with aren't they?

What about sheep? you get fiber and lambs for the freezer and if they are dairy sheep you can get milk for butter and cheese.

Can ya tell if I ever get out of the city I'm planning on sheep? ;D

YES we can tell, and sheep are wonderful but they can eat 2 acres of grass down to mud in about 2 days, right down to the roots.
Like 2 sheep.

I didn't ever think you could do this with roosters. I do this (except I use a frame to strech the skin) with goat kid hides.

I have awesome thick white rabbit pelts as well....

I begged after Heather a few days ago after she posted she was letting the flock go...and she said some woman had shown interest (like I never did)and this person has "firsties" on the flock,,, and she also said she had no hatching eggs either...weird ?
I love her Lem,Blues !!! Have you seen them on her web site ???
