Right, I kinda wanted to take it really slow with large animals though ๐Ÿ˜‚ pigs are super useful for reducing waste but are definitely a stretch goal.

A mini Jersey was something Iโ€™d been considering at one point; Iโ€™d done some math and figured that between making butter, cream, and skyr, I could figure out how to use the milk per day from ONE โ€ฆ but just barely, and they also probably would need a friendโ€ฆ

You know, we have one dexter cow, sheโ€™s alone with pig and goat friends and does fine. Pigs augment their diet by eating cow feces, itโ€™s yet another large ruminants advantage. The only time she gets restless is when sheโ€™s in heat, a little more grain and time gets her through it.
