Goats and Chickens

Well, due to finances, we are holding off on the goats and chickens. The goal now is to get these in the early spring of next year. That will give us the rest of this year to get the goat fence installed, build a chicken coop, and remodel the barn with stalls for the goats.

I am using any free time I have to research and learn as much as I can about both of these animals.

and it begins . . .

We are off on our new journey - a journey to self-sufficiency. Our goal is to grow and preserve our own meat and food in an effort to become healthier and less reliant on the "normal" food chain. I have my seed order ready and will be starting some seeds by the end of the month. I have already started making our own bread and cooking from scratch to avoid chemical preservatives. We plan to purchase goats for milking and meat, and chickens for eggs and meat. Our very own backyard homestead!
