3 Hereford x Angus bred cows and 1 heifer
1 Jersey heifer bred to a Dexter bull
1 Gelbvieh x Jersey bull (going to freezer camp next month)
2 yearling Holstein steers (to be sold next month)
15 hens and 1 rooster
2 dogs

We usually raise a couple pigs every other year and a bunch of broilers the other years.
I have cut down a lot. I used to have 18 head of cattle, a dozen or so goats, a couple of horses, more poultry. That was much more than we needed so we are scaling back to be more sustainable and not have so many animals to care for.

Ravenlost, you have 16 dogs? You must be a saint : )

Hey, callieslamb, I have a sun conure too. I'll try and post a pic later.

We have:
2 horses
5 dogs (mostly little ones)
9 cats
1 sun conure
3 turkeys
4 geese
6 ducks
and around 2 doz chickens (all kinds)

Dh says there are too many. He worries I do too much work everyday. But I love taking care of them, only wish there were more hours in the day.

6 chinchillas
2 dogs
2 cats

I'm hoping to get a trio of rabbits and a few chickens in the spring.
