Nice Panther! [emoji16] Here's Francis, another ambilobe panther cham: 27c97f88889d91ba9559dc725954f811.jpg

One of my favorite shots of him.

Are the horses sway backs?

The white donkey is a big time sway back, he is like 25 years old so its just old age probably.

Hey Dr. Dolittle aka Will,

Is that a Brown Swiss and are those Nigerian Dwarf goats? Where are the sheep. Navajo Churro  would fit right in.  We have raised feeder lambs for years.  And what about one of Babe's cousin's. Maybe a Guinea hog an old U.S. of A. breed ?  I have always liked a mix of various animals on our place.

The cow is a Jersey and the goats are Nigerian Dwarf.  No sheep, I think we will be doing some pigs next year (they can eat the extra milk).  We are getting a young beef calf delivered tomorrow which we will raise up for meat.  We are also getting 30 red broiler meat chicks today.

I don't know about others, but I have a houseful (and pasture) but the real challenge is finding a babysitter when we want to go somewhere overnight or longer!

Thats the tough part of being in the pet hobby. Trying to find someone is hard but trying to find someone you trust is even harder.

ya the chickens aren't bad but we will see how we do with a cow.  The milk cow we have (the one in the photo) is super friendly so we will see how we do with the steer.

Same, he's free range as well. He lives on an indoor ficus tree with ropes connecting the tree to various branches of coffeeberry tree (looks like manzanita, but less red) throughout my house. Its actually really cool. He eats wild grasshopper, beetles, and crickets, with the occasional moth for a treat, all found just outside my door in the forest and garden. Best diet is a wild diet if you know the bugs are "clean", so says the breeder who gave him to us. If you ask me, Francis is a rather spoiled chameleon. :]

Just don't do it yourself with the cow or steer. Take them to a processor or have a mobile processor come to you and leave for a couple of hours.

The best thing you can do is not give the steer a name or did like we have.  Ours have been T-bone or Chuck.  Pigs have always been Hambone or Porkchop.  Even at Hiram Farm for adults with Autism, they understood that some of the animals were pets and some were for the dinner table.(and not named)
