Va. No Goatman

Well all goats are gone now what to do with 30 acres ?

[Cheribelle]

WHAT?!?!? NO GOATS?!??!

I can't imagine it.

Maybe a milk cow and a couple of beef steers to fatten up? Maybe a fattening hog too? Assuming you don't already have all of these.

Depends, flat, hilly, beach front, how much work you want to do, how much money you want to try to make, etc.

Seeing as how you probably already have fencing and a barn the first thing that pops into mind is horse boarding.

If its real hilly you get get some of those beef cows hybrids that have shorter legs in the front than the back. That way the won't slip and fall down the hill.

Those are hybrids ? I thought all cows were like that . Here in WV they are .

sheep?

[JJFarmer]

Why no more goats? Especially with 30 acres to use.

Guess a new forum name is needed ;-)

I'm in the mountains of sw. Va. so it's mostly hillside but not too steep I may go back to some kinda stock in a year I got some work to do and I think it would help to let things grow for a summer

[GoatsRus]

When our last goat takes it's last breath, we're putting in a pond!

If you have decent fencing, beef cattle are very little work. Certainly nothing like milk goats.

Or: fruit orchard, blueberries, woodlot, hay field. With those, you can go on vacation and leave them for a couple of weeks.

[Va. goatman]

I was thinking about the fruit orchard thing and berries

Ooh, you beat me to it. But it's the truth I think my left leg is shorter than my right because of running up and down the mountains.
