Livestock

The farm is home to many critters. There are two varieties of chickens, one for laying and a bigger variety for meat. Both roam around freely and then are herded back to their respective coops at night. There is also a flock of ducks, who share the pond with the trout.

There are two cows and two bulls. The cows produce the most delicious milk (nothing better than fresh milk and fresh eggs). Two goats also call the place home, both male and being raised for meat.


Most of the work on the farm goes into taking care of the livestock. This mainly consists of going up into the hillside to cut and collect grass to feed the cows. The goats, being much more agile, are simply let loose and do their thing all day on the hill and return on their own. The cow manure is also shoveled daily and brought to the compost.
