Hi! I'm new here, and wondering what kind of animals to get.
-We have a 30 acre farm in Maryland, flat, small rolling hills.
-Only a few acres (3) to put cattle, with 1 acre seperate to move cattle.
-Can only handle a few, as only good possible shelter is an addition to an equipment/pole barn.
-Have some experience, we have 6 ducks and geese, about 30 chickens (getting more, have been up to about sixty), 2 goats, and 8 free roam rabbits. Note: Barn for goats is waaay to small for cattle, barely enough for two goats.
-We have equipment to handle bales, and have connections with barn builders, so just wondering about what kind of cattle to get.
We will most likely put in the goats with them, as well as buy probably a donkey or two. We have been looking at mini horses for my three year-old niece (4 in Feb.), and would like to ride with her, girl I know can teach, just wondering what would be best for me to ride with her on. The horses aren't wanted as much as cattle, so horse answers aren't important/needed.
Thankyou all very much!
Kyle
