Smaller animals can be a pain to deal with too because they will escape of out regular barb wire fencing easily.

Easy decision on the livestock. Go with a few head of cattle.
Sheep and goats are nothing but trouble imo. They are escape artists and you will need to have smaller wire mesh on fencing to keep them from sticking their heads through. I've seen a lot of billy goats stick their heads through wire mesh and get their horns stuck. End result is a billy goat with a broken neck and a hole someone has to dig. Fencing cost are a lot higher for sheep and goats. Obviously, cattle can be kept in with nothing more than a few strands of barbed wire.

Originally posted by lnester View PostYes, lease out grazing rights to a local rancher. Head to the local feed store for some prospects.
That way, you get the ag exemption AND get some $$ from the rancher.
Only downside, you have to deal with the rancher who runs the cattle. That could be a crap shoot.
