I kept bees for about 10 years. I’ve heard of it. Actually not that new. Bees are pretty amazing. You should look into getting a couple hives. Don’t do just one.

One of the back roads down here you drive around and you can actually stop and see all the flight patterns of them going to the hives it’s pretty cool !
Bee therapy’s new to me I should say hah

Very cool. Goats are pretty fun. I used to have a home dairy. It just got to be too much work with a full time job. The does have to be milked every day, twice a day, or they dry up until next year.

Those puppies average around 85 lbs now. The largest one is over 110 lbs.
They are crosses (25% Great Pyrenees, 25% Anatolian Shepherd and 50% Polish Tatra Mountain Sheepdog).

Yeah, I think that’s about right. Chickens seem to be the most efficient. I would get dual purpose if you eat eggs. Raise straight run. Eat the cocks (that’s for you @Slick1) and keep the pullets. Then when their spent in two years, stew the hens.
Edit: Not implying that you eat cocks Slick, just figured you could run with the wording. I know you’re not feeling great, so I was just trying to be thoughtful.

We use goat cheese and milk as barter (among other things). I also loan some out for folks keeping brush down in places where you can’t run a tractor or they don’t own one.
Rabbits are a great way to go as well. High protein and low in fat and the droppings are some killer fertilizer.

I like the pics you post of that big boy cuz lol he’s is one damn fine looking animal! Intelligent look to him and you can tell there’s a personality there.
Or is that the same one you posted before in another thread? The fencing and area look familiar lol

Yeah, that’s the same pic. I was lucky to catch him up by the barn. He likes the fields too much to stick around. He knew I had a couple of his pups and was like “What’s taking you?”
