There's a few of the animals that we intend to raise that I think I could very easily develop a good relationship with. It frightens me some for when it comes to the culling part of things. A deer in the woods, no problem... a quail raised at home? I dunno about that...
How do you guys handle the end of life bit? I hate to be all dark and creepy with the question. Our friend that has goats does it all himself, but his style of farming is very different from ours.
