OK...so we (I) are thinking about getting a few more farm animals ....right now we have chickens and we have purchased honey bees that we will be picking up next month. (pics to follow) I took part of my small barn and made a coop out of it. Here is the old thread with all the details: http://forums.bowhunting.com/water-cooler/21143-got-chickens-43.html I have since killed all the roosters and lost two hens to some unknown deal. I have lost 8 other hens to the soup pot I have also rescued 6 other birds and adopted 3 young birds this winter.. I will be butchering the 17 older birds, so I bought 22 chicks at the beginning of March ... a little older.... and today....Outgrowing the brooder! So the 17 will die in the next few weeks........I am looking to get a few turkey and a couple milk goats.... How about you guys and gals?
Will be a while until I do but I hope to some day. Want to own my own place before I bring livestock into the picture. My landlord would probably allow some chickens, but Id rather wait. Awesome collection Tony!
We have cattle and chickens... I don't have many pics of them...but a couple... This was Brutus last year: This was Brutus Sunday evening: This is Herbie.... he's the new bull in town. We also have 2 black baldies, 5 holsteins, another Hereford heifer, 4 of Angus mix cow/calf, and Charolais mix steer. It's a start!
I almost bought five bummer lambs yesterday. So far, it's 28 8 1/2 week old chicks. I have four cockrels in crate right now. They've been pulled off feed so I can try to caponize them in a couple of hours. Wish us luck! We're supposed to be getting a couple weaner pigs in a couple of weeks too.
No.. me and my Grandfather. One day I hope to have my own steady supply of cattle... I enjoy it, and while risky it's a good source of extra income...
This is only pic I have right now. We're gonna be working calves again this weekend so try to snap some more. Did about 50 or so last Saturday and got about 15-20 left.
Here you go Tony. FYI, OSB is considered a perfectly reasonable exterior surface out here in Utah. That my coop was painted at some point is down right spiffy. Lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Yes... Yes he does. He was a beast... Honestly I wish we would've kept him or sold him... he was worth a lot more than beef.
I have 15 breeding pairs of corn snakes. I usually hatch ~150 babies every year. Does that count as livestock?
