[QUOTE="TexasCountryWoman, post: 42013, member: 425"] It really depends on what you mean by "support it's self". Do you mean you want to live there and not work. Yes, you can homestead and live off the land. You would be poor and would need at least a part time job or a savings or something like that. I fall into the living off the land and being poor category. I have always been the Bohemian/ Artist type and choose to live in the woods. I am disabled from a head injury so now can't work outside the ranch as I take too many meds for that . Now I milk goats for food and eat their male offspring for meat, raise a garden, poultry, and raise cows for the ag exemption and small profits. If you can raise your winter feed, great. Fencing is expensive, so get them up and sturdy. I don't know about weather there. But here, winter shelter isn't much of a problem, neither is winter hay storage. Your question was a bit general, so I don't know what lifestyle you are aiming towards. If it is a mansion and a pool, then talk to someone else. If it's how to use a milk pail and baling wire, I might could help. Don't overwhelm yourself with projects at the beginning and make friends with all the neighbors. Play by community rules, which are very charming in my neck of the woods. [/QUOTE]
