Episode description

It’s no secret.  Out of all the aspects of homesteading, the animals are the one thing I can’t live without.  Today I’m going to walk you through everything you need to consider prior to adding your first animals to your homestead.  You’ll learn where to buy, what to look out for before buying, why quality is always the best route, and so much more.  Discover why bloodlines not only lead better animals, but also more dollars in your pocket.  Even if you currently have animals on your homestead, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! 

Some highlights from the episode: 

• Why zoning laws can determine what animals you can have 
• Can you afford to feed the animals? 
• Why impulse buying isn’t the way to go
