Description

Hi friends!  Last week we talked about all the reasons to start with terminal livestock if you’re a beginner or just getting started raising farm animals.  Today I’m going to dive into that a little deeper and talk about why you should start with smaller livestock like sheep and goats instead of cattle.  We’re going to talk about meat and dairy and risk management, especially through those beginner phases where lots of mistakes and learning happen.  Let’s get to it!


 


All the Best!
