Excellent multi-part article. I will update this post as the other parts become available:
Part 1) https://survivalblog.com/lessons-learned-in-livestock-part-1-by-c-k/ (https://survivalblog.com/lessons-learned-in-livestock-part-1-by-c-k/)
Talks about Rabbits, Guinea Hogs, Goats, Bees, Chickens, Ducks and Geese, Cats and Sheep.
Part 2) https://survivalblog.com/lessons-learned-in-livestock-part-2-by-c-k/ (https://survivalblog.com/lessons-learned-in-livestock-part-2-by-c-k/)
The topic is livestock that is NOT recommended for the prepper homestead: Guinea Fowll, Horses, Beef Cattle, Milk Cows and Turkeys. It also talks about auctions as source of homestead goods, a used dump truck and small tractor.
The author also cautions against squash due to a problem with insect damage and the need for chemical abatement. My personal experience is that this did not become a problem where I was located. YMMV.
He recommends more root crops in a garden.
