I can't figure out how to quote a miss age on this phone..... But '100 chickens and 200 head of cattle roaming around'?????? You guys wouldn't have to bring any meat!!!!!
Well, it's not our main residence. I always wanted a large piece of land and the wife and I enjoy gardening....plus I love to design, build and create stuff. We bought a 10-acre orchard with an old home built in the late 1890's. We remodeled the home and doubled it's size, built a huge 2-story barn, 2 guest units, planted about 650 avocado trees along with about 100 fruit trees.
My neighbor has the cattle, they're used in movies, for 'roping' on weekends and eventually go to the slaughterhouse. As for chickens, we started with 10 but my kids keep buying more each time we go by the feed & tack store. Many are cute little bantam and fancy breeds but most of them are for egg production. You really don't want to eat an egg-producing chicken....the 'meat birds' are far more suitable and quite frankly my kids aren't quite up to eating their pets, go figure.
It's kinda a dream home...income property, historic residence, project, investment, vacation home, location for film/TV use and if the zombie apocalypse ever happens I'm dug in tighter then an Alabama tick!
See, I'm under the impression that you only get one crack at life and so I'm trying to make the most of it. Also, my b!tch sister inlaw tends to doubt me so I'm enjoying burying her with some serious in-your-face success (insert evil & maniacal laugh here)
On a side note, and more on-topic to this thread...when my dad learned that I built a large outdoor kitchen with several BBQ's he straight-up laughed at me; his ignorant butt is still in the stone age when only women did the cooking and he can't even begin to relate to the notion of a 'grown adult man' engaging in cooking or BBQ'ing. Aside from shooting guns I can't think of a more manly thing then BBQ'ing.
