Some of our future goals are as follows:
First animal we want to get is Chickens!
Chickens, mostly for egg production for us and our dogs, but eventually we want to get a few meat chickens every once in a while for eating.
Second animal we want to get is Rabbits!
We loved having rabbits! they were lots of fun to watch and take care of. They are also super easy in my book. We raised rabbits for about 3 years total. We want them mostly for meat production for our dogs, and ourselves included.
Third animal we plan to get are Goats!
We are leaning towards Nigerian Dwarf goats, super cute, and good milk producers for their size! We want to have 2 does and 1 buck, or find someone local with a buck to use for breeding. We want them mostly for milk as I said, but would sell the kids every spring to help cover feed costs.
Fourth animal we want to get, Pigs!
We are set on getting some Kune Kune pigs, probably a pair of them for selling and maybe one a year for meat and what not. We love the Kune Kune breed, very cute, friendly, and one of the only breed who graze more than root up the ground. They are also a more manageable size too!
Fifth animal we possibly want to get is sheep.
I had a bottle lamb growing up and I loved her to death for sure, lots of good memories taking care and raising her. We aren't necessarily set on getting sheep. We might just get a wether to keep our male pig and male goat company!
One bonus animal we want to get is Quail!
not really a set order for when we get them, but we would like to have them in the future for sure! mostly for Meat and Eggs!
I'll end this post off on, What animals do you have on your Homestead? or What animals do you want to add?
