Whatchu raising? I've only been in this game about 3 years, but have made more progress than most folks 7 years in, because I'm lucky to have a job that I can work from home and have very little hours.
only people.
and the usual gardens of course.
I would love to have ducks and sheep but we have serious predator pressure and I dont have any help.
BTW I follow and enjoy talking to both you guys because you're doing the homesteading thing. I'm almost there, I could start now but got to think about the future beyond my own lifetime first. There are little people I hope to equip with the tools they need to conquer the world one day, a home that provides is only a part of that.
What kind of predator pressure? Are you in a state where youre restricted with regard to protecting your livestock?
We have big cats and bears.
Also I volunteer a lot of my time so I'm frequently not around.
Maybe when I have more adult help on the land.
I hope so.
Very glad alli deal with is coyotes and foxes and such, there some mountain lions but it's rare. Bears technically are in the state, but not near us, I wonder if electric works against bears
