Set Goals
Before you start screening the local paper on why you want
to go for livestock business, take a step back. What are your goals for your
small farm? What kind of farm are you planning? Is it going to serve as a hobby
farm for you? When you have chosen to make your farm a supplement farm or a
full-time job, this will make you realize how much relaxation will be employed.
Do you want to do it for fun in the evenings and on the weekends? It could be
that you want your farm to actually make money, eventually replacing your
current job. Or your goal might be to produce all the food (and possibly power)
that you and your family need - homesteading or self-sufficiency. You therefore
need to apply more dedication and determination and working towards making your
vision come to reality.
