Yeah I think I've decided to completely cut goats out of my plan! Expensive little suckers lol. My horses cost $35 a month during the winter, at most. Plus wormer 2x a year. My cousin can trim their feet and so far I haven't had to float their teeth yet but I imagine I will sometime. Don't know how often it is but should only be $50-$75 per horse. So as long as they don't seriously injure themselves, which being horses they're liable to do lol, they're not too horribley expensive. Right now it cost me $7 a month to feed my chickens, I imagine that cost will go down once they're free ranging. And then like I said a cow should be able to graze witho no problem and my dogs should pay for themselves. So far I don't have any astronomical feed bills. If I had to cut down for whatever reason I could force my self to sell my big dogs (I have a chihuahua that I forgot to figure in but she weighs 4 pounds, her feed bill is little lol I could never part with her), and I could cut down to one horse. I wouldn't do these things happily but if it were for the greater good I could make myself.
