Plans for the Future

So as many of you know, Hunter and I own an 8 acre "farm" in Ararat, NC.  Well we are planning on it actually becoming a real farm that we will be able to hopefully sustain ourselves and make a little money in the process.  We already have the chickens, the garden, and some of our fruit trees/bushes.  We want to add sheep (southdown babydoll sheep) goats (Nigerian dwarf dairy goats) possibly a black angus cow, and bees.  We are also going to get some ducks ( I know previously we said they were messy and not very predator savvy but we have done some more research and found 2 breeds that should work well for us, the Swedish and Cayuga.)  We will also be getting some turkeys and a few peacocks.  Of course this is all plans for the future, but its still really fun to learn about all the different animals and breeds etc.
