    Well it seems you are evolving going forward. That is the way of farming. You are so right , you are not a petting zoo. But living off the land is what sustains you and your family. I look forward to theses changes and to follow along. You put your heart into this homestead and it shows.
    God bless you all and thank you for the videos. We all need a good pick me up in the morning. Cheers.

    I just want to publicly Thank you guys and many other channels for your information. Because of watching these videos over the last few months, my thoughts have switched to self reliance and preparing for possible situational interruptions to normal life. I have been following many channels advice and have been stocking up and planning for future moving out of the city. Thank fully when the current problems have arisen I am comfortably prepared for it. There are things I want to do in the future, but I cannot complain about my current situation. Again Thank you guys so much!! Your channel was my first homestead channel to binge and I watched them ALL! Thank you ! Thank You ! Thank You!! I am not ready for goats yet, but that is one of my future plan.

    Yes, you guys were missed, but I saw your post about this week...yeah, esp. with the weather we've been having...every day counts...totally understand your decision...things change and needs change...nothing wrong with that...prayers for good families to get the goats! Excited for your new journey with a new breed of pig! Last spring, we bought and raised two blue butt piglets...sold one and had other processed - we had to buy another freezer...we did get a lot of meat, but...the breed, we found out is a lard pig...yeah, I wanted lard, and both do I have a ton of it....have rendered a couple huge batches but our bacon is really more fat than any meat...so this breed sounds wonderful...not sure where we can find it in our neck of the woods...N.E. Texas...we won't be breeding but wanting to raise and butcher for our own food and replenish the following year...if you or anyone on here know of any breeders close to the Texas area, please holler! Always happy for you guys as we share a common goal...growing and raising our own fresh, clean and truly organic foods...

You need acreage for them, they will eat heavy brush and ingrowth clearing areas of your properties if you "temp fence and move them around.

    We found while farming our goats were not a resource that was beneficial to us. Though I make soap it just wasn’t. Sold them got sheep, still had meat cattle and chickens. Sheep was a great change for us. Easier to manage, no climbing no escaping and better return for our investment. Hairsheep are parasite resistant, no worming either. Sold them for good pricing at the market. Twin births regularly several triplets good moms. Except for one year. Cattle much more work, larger more dangerous even with right equipment they were like big pets but can never trust a bull. Still have the chickens did meat chickens last year but lost the meat when my freeze died. Something to consider.
