Are you getting animals in?

Yes, we are planning on getting animals.
Already have two ponies, my partner's pets, though we are planning to use the chunky one to pull logs up from the woods and pull a chain harrow etc stuff like that.
The previous owner left us 7 bantams including two Pekins ( one of which died yesterday from something blocking it's crop - we noticed too late and were too busy moving stuff still).

We are planning on having a family cow for milk, cheese, yoghurt, kefir, etc and beef from her calves.
Goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, geese, rabbits............. and whatever else we can think of!

We have 27 acres, 5 of which are wooded.
