Raising Livestock

         
          Raising livestock is a win-win situation for everyone. How? Well, you buy a couple of cows and say they have calves. That gives you a total of 3 cows just within the first year of raising them. If you feed these cows a proper diet when they get big enough you can sell them off for, I don't know, about $500+ dollars each.
          During the process of raising these cows, if you have a female, you can use their milk instead of buying milk from the store. On the other hand, you can also sell some of the milk to increase your profit even more. What about all the manure they produce? A good option for that is to rake it up into a pile, let it set for a while, then use it to fertilize your garden. This will give you organic crops that produce more fruit/vegetables than just watering. Again, you're making even more of a profit from one purchase. Isn't that great?
          This process isn't just for cows. You could buy goats, pigs, chickens, etc. that offer the manure benefit, the goat also offers milk, and with chickens you could sell the eggs. Not to mention that a pigs or two and a few chickens aren't a big space consumer. They don't even require much attention; just a feeding twice a day and clean out their pen once a week and that's all you need. So if your community allows it, buy some livestock and start an organic garden and you could have a decent second income.
