[QUOTE="circlet, post: 530429, member: 3753"] although i'm a day late on the holstein bulls for pets discussion, i'm still going to add my nickel's worth (used to be two cents but inflation has hit us hard :D ) although you said you've made up your mind, i'd suggest getting rid of the boys - castrated or not - and buying some mini herefords. they'll eat less, are less dangerous and if you're going for the cute factor they win that catagory in my opinion. my guess is if you feed the goats with the (big) cattle, the cattle will push them around and try to bully them but the goats won't pay them any mind! lol as a side note, don't trust those goats either, some of them like to ram you! (several experiences taunting goats when i was a kid) regarding the chickens, i don't know what your definition of "free range" is going to be, but if they'll be out wandering, expect lots of raids from everything from dogs to coyotes to whatever you have in your part of the country. not lecturing or trying to be a downer, but you might consider a nice chicken house with a fenced in coop around it. watch for spots around the house where something has been digging, we used to have varmints come and dig, but most of the time it seemed they never got in first try, and we'd notice where they'd try to get in and be able to trap them the next night.
