Hehe... The primary aim is farming, not pet keeping. Though one tends to get emotional with them sometimes. However, that emotion doesn't overcome the fact that they are foods in the long run. The only animal I can keep as pet around here is cat.
I need to learn how to milk goats. Then, my objectives could change. Also, not sure poison ivy grows is indigenous here. THe animals are settling down fast now. EVen if I open the gate they don't want to go out anymore.
