I'm gearing up for more animal husbandry (pic) this coming season. I won't have enough money for everything, but it is a plan at least. I've raised all of these animal species before at one time in my life or another, except giant guinea pigs. I also have quite a bit of stuff laying around to make a large portion of what I need to build. So, this shouldn't be too painful.
Now that the internet exists (it didn't when I did bulk animal farming before,) I've been downloading tons of guides and videos. That allows me to look at so many methods to raise animals and equipment to build or use, that it can be stupefying at times.
My main goal is to farm most of my own food and source animal feed/fodder locally if I don't grow it myself. Everything will be pastured in one method or another.
