Greetings all!
My husband, son, and I are finally leaving NYC after 10 years to start a very small livestock farm in NJ. Having a few acres to live off of, raise animals, and provide a service to my community has been a dream for as long as I remember, but we got a bit sidetracked. The pandemic made this far-off dream an urgent action item. I studied veterinary medicine, but never practiced,and it's been awhile since I had manure under my fingernails. We have a lot to learn and not a lot of time to do it.
Anyway, could you share some ideas? We have a fairly large morton building that has been used as a riding arena for at least 30 years that I would like to convert to SOMETHING....maybe a space for backgrounding cattle? What would you use it for?
