One of my dreams/idea is to open an empty lot (or land) sheep grazing business. Sheep are "close to the ground" grazers and are easy to herd and to load and unload from/to trailer. I thought of goats but they are tricky animals and love to climb things... Many lots have junk in it and the goats would climb it and get out. I will haul sheep to various empty lots, land, highway median or shoulders to graze it down to prevent fires (it will save a bundle for the private owners, the city, and the fire department). Personally, I don't have the money to start it because it is a lot to get started. Here is the things I need your investments money:
2 trucks with hitches
2 trailers (one flatbed and one stock trailer)
sheep
to hire someone to build portable fences and corral (easy to carry and lightweight. the barbed wire fence takes too long and private owners would hate me if I dug into their ground!).
portable water tanks
Water tank for back of one of the truck
start up cash for hired hands
winter pasture (hopefully I can haul them to land/lots in warm climate during winter time)
It will probably be a bad investment because the sheep prices isn't very strong and I will probably go broke but at least I will be working! Remember even if Iam working and my monthly earnings is under 2,000 dollars, I am still on SSI.
This will probably never happen but its a good dream that I dream of for every night for the past two years.. I was afraid to present this because someone else might steal the idea and ruin me personally. If you are serious about this, please PM me! Thanks!

He has already asked for someone to set him up for a sheep grazing project.
Now he may be going after a grant. Another waste of the tax payers money.
That's all we need. :roll: :roll:
Very true, Muratic. I didn't really see any place for me to vote. Guess all the ones that can vote more than once will make up for it?Muratic":53q8gchk said:The boards just aren't like they used to be.
ffscj":27dwhhgk said:I had to answer that I don't have cattle but will ask stupid questions anyway. That's why I was attracted to this board so that I could ask questions (and some of them will undoubtably be stupid ) instead of making stupid mistakes when I finally am able to get my cows. Hopefully ya'll can excuse me for offending you with my ignorance.

Maybe Macon can create a "vetern cattlemen and women" forum so you guys wont be bothered. If you're gonna help the newbies then "thanks". If you're gonna complain and make fun of folks then we dont want your help. And if you dont like the boards...."BYE"
