Cobblemead occasionally has excellent-quality, healthy, low-maintenance
livestock and/or poultry for sale at attractive prices.
Selling breeding stock is NOT our main enterprise however: As explained in
the book SHEEP SUCCE$$, anyone can
receive purebred
breeding-stock prices (even for animals suited only for butchering), from
quality-conscious consumers who buy at attractive retail prices.
Speaking of sheep, we recommend you visit the American
Cotswold Record Association web site. There you will find sample
photos of fabulous Cotswold sheep pelts, super-mild mutton chops, beautiful golden
fleeces, the history of the breed's profitability, some of its husbandry secrets, and where
you can buy them.

Geese are great for alerting husbandmen to intruders on
the smallholding. Our geese are of the Emden breed.
Their fog-horn loud calls when someone or something unfamiliar
arrives on the farm can be heard for hundreds of yards.
They eat very little grain as compared to other poultry, their
natural diet being grass and weeds.
Goose eggs are rapidly sold around Easter at a dollar or more apiece,
being about the size of an orange and weighing about a half-pound
each. Their are the ultimate for decoration, and make great cakes
and omelets, too. |
