Okay, I need to know approx. how long it takes to grow different types of livestock from birth to sale time. We have a couple of acres and are in the process of fencing off a large chunk for farm animals, so I'm trying to get an idea how much grow time some of them need. The "food" type animals would be sold when they are big enough for meat (We're vegetarians, so we're not gonna eat 'em
).
We have chickens already, and I'm sure we're going to get a few pygmy goats because I've always wanted some, they're just so cute. I know how to raise cattle because I did when I was a kid, I just don't remember the selling age. So, if y'all could tell me the avereage age of sale for the following, it would help me plan things out:
Steers and cows
pigs
Boer goats
Sheep
Thanks a bunch!
