    Tax deductible! I.posted on other threas abt this and found out that wildlife tax ex changed their ways last Jan and limits on everything regarding to tax exemption which Ag.Ex has more beneficial than Wildlife Ex.

      Smaller animals can be a pain to deal with too because they will escape of out regular barb wire fencing easily.
      Ah...gotcha...oh boy...I got to make decision then....ill email this woman at the office.

        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.

          Why not do timber or hay they both qualify for ag.

              Good to know, how much does one cow costs? Better get calves or few females and one bull? Kind? Heifer, Angus, others?

                  cows are several hundred up to low 1,000's...but will resell and keep making you money

                  I agree sheeps/goats are a PIA, not cows.

                        You can still have Tax deductions even if your place in wildlife ex status.Just put a few cattle on it and your good to go.Do you have the fence to hold sheep or goats?

                          Yes, 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.

                              One of my friends got rid of their cattle and has some kind of "bird sanctuary" permit, much easier and don't need to mess with cattle, sheep, or goats.
