Goat manure.  I have five big bins (made from pallets) for it and all but one are full.

Beswick cattle, I have families of Friesian, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Hereford, and Highland cattle. I really want the Dairy Shorthorns, but you could buy a live one for the price of the models!

I collect..... skulls :-[

I dunno why but I find them fascinating. My hubby came home the other day with a present,he'd been for a walk on the moor and found a cow skull and brought it home for me :thumbsup:
Strangely, I'm only interested in ones we find on our walks and trips out!

My 4 girls collect skulls and bones found in the field! several sheep skulls dating from goodness knows when. I found the girls once, all out on the front lawn with a huge sign saying "skulls for sale" trying to flag down passing trade!

Paraffin lamps, scrap cars, OAP geese, magpies, slugs, old rusty chicken wire, and more recently large piles of shredded roofing felt.

I collect all sorts of hand tools. Anything that's got a probable use and I need some of them in triplicate because I have tools for work, tools in the Orchard and tools in the cellar. I used to collect apparent junk, but most of it has been used for making or fixing things and the rest has been chucked as I needed the space to build chicken coops. The main thing I have been desperately looking for but haven't found yet is a 'mole catchers fork', and I only need one of those.
