[QUOTE="Keren, post: 764519, member: 3195"] get two goats, or better yet get two hair breed (eg katahdin) sheep. put a fence up first (google to find out what you need to keep in sheep). while you are at it, divide your strip of land into two, or even four, sections. So that you can do what we call "rotational grazing" which means that while the sheep eat one section the grass grows in the other sections so the sheep always has food and will never go hungry. book your veterinarian to come and check them and give them necessary vaccinations and worm treatments when you get them, and regularly every six months after. find a neighbour who has livestock to keep an eye on them once a month or so and let you know if they are going well or if there are problems. pay him in beer. buy yourself a book - Storey's Guide to Raising Goats or Sheep would be a suggestion and learn about keeping farm animals. good luck.
