[QUOTE="lseger, post: 293969, member: 5162"] Maybe I didn't express the requirements right. Our county requires 7 animal units on our land to meet the exemption. It defines 1 animal unit as being roughly 1500 pounds. (Which, as I said - they don;t seem to enforce) I have their quick reference guide that equates this requrement to one adult cow. Alternatively, 7 goats equal one animal unit. We have 7 goats - so we're down to needing 6 more animal units...which we plan to do in cattle. (Were we to try to hit it with goats only, we would need 49 - more than we are prepared for at this point.) We are new to the community, so do not know a lot of people yet, but it would be ideal if someone could put 6 of theirs on our land. We would let them graze for free and hay them, too - just for the tax benefit. That being said, if we find that we do need to buy some, I am wondering what breed (and gender) would be the easiest for us to handle and keep for a while. For every 7 goats we add, we can then sell off one of these cows. [/QUOTE]
