I always liked the idea of a small gentleman's farm. Just a couple of each. Have a nice modern barn, set up with the same attention to detail we give our garages. Proper stalls and pens, area to wash the animals, similar to some of the nice horse stables. I have no desire to eat any of them, I just enjoy being around them and watching them walk around in the fields. Kind of relaxing. Good excuse to get a Unimog too, to haul the feed around in. And an old restored Porsche tractor. Yeah, I have it all worked out in my head. ;-)
