animals and making a living !!!
Nobody can really answer your question , as nobody knows what money you 'need' to live on .
Do you pay council tax ? do you own a car ? do you work full time? how much is the rent of the land ? ... you get my drift ? far to many variables for anyone to say exactly what would make 'you' a living .
Some people say they are self sufficient , or trying to be , that's fine , but it is a term that is misused in general , and is almost impossible to attain .
Animals and profit , is again like the old question , how long is a PoS ?
What is making a profit this month can be wiped out next month, by the increase in animal feed from the supplier .
You have to decide if you are going big , with small profits , or small with much higher profits , but more intense and direct sales .
Farmshop ? do you have one ready to use ? are you going to rent ? Health and safety etc etc is a nightmare these days . Not impossible to sort out , but dependent on circumstances , difficult/costly .
What would make the most money from a given amount of land ?
in a word, opium !!! but I would suggest you give that one a miss , unless you like the idea of free board and lodging for the next few years !!
Sorry no set answer here , but you need to work out what you want /need , and then work out the best/easiest way to attain it .
cheers
