When you have animals, there's always a chance that some busybody will manipulate some anti-cruelty law against you. If that happens, even if you win in court, you'll lose a lot of time and incur plenty of expenses in the process. IMHO, animal farming is too risky a gamble...
If you win in court you make a list of expenses you've incurred from having to defend a frivolous lawsuit and let your accuser foot the bill.. LOL! |

You'd have to file a counter-suit, and win, for that to happen. There are only a few small, specific items that you can automatically collect in case of a win: taxation of costs. And that's only in civil cases. In criminal cases, like animal cruelty, you're pretty much out of luck. But the risk of that is not high, in NH. |

"An armed society is a polite society" - this does not mean that we are polite because we fear each other.
We are not civilized because we are armed; we are armed because we are civilized..

Farming is going to be my "main income" source, well "reduction in bills" source describes it best. I want to raise rabbits and fish and expand from there.

I would say all these questions are important. The most important question is how many cows or chickens do you have? This means buying land, put up a place to live, buying equipment to work the plot, seeds, chickens, cows, clearing the plot, a place to poop, shower, relax,etc. Of course all this could be a non-issue if you're rich. I have limited means so we should team up, or at least talk. So, are there local butchers who can do a home raised steer? What kind of hoops (if any) does a NH farmer have to jump through to raise their own meat? What about chickens? Are there people who kill and pluck chickens? (I once lived in Amish country where people did this very cheaply!) If I get a nice little Jersey cow when I move to NH, will the FDA edjeets want to inspect my milk and make me pasteurize it before I drink it? What if I want to sell it to a neighbor? Just curious about ag bureaucracy here. It is very bad in Ireland - the local butchers no longer exist "food safety" you know...  |
