your wish list

what are the top 3 creatures you have on your wish list and WHY? if today you suddenly had the ways and means and lifestyle to accommodate them?
ill go first
1.  impeyans   for their sheer beauty

2.  german sheperd female to train for search and rescue work and to be my daily companion


3.  norwegian fjord team to chore with and ride.  I  love their color, disposition andcompact multi purpose build.

# 1....Sebastopol Geese

# 2......Ruddy Shelducks

# 3.......Brahman cattle.


Could name so many more. Lol.

the answers to this will be interesting to see!
1. horses, ay breed for moose really, but iwant a draft or the compnionship, personality and o work.
2. tamworth pigs, for meat and out of sheer interest
3. highland or canadian short horn cow, fresh raw milk, cream and butter

.

Oh, geez. I am boring. I have already had most of the common species, or been around them enough to know what I don't want.

I might like to try some different chicken breeds. The kiddo would like some bantams.

Sometimes I think I would like a pig to raise and eat because BACON. Husband does not agree, and since he has actually had pigs and is an animal lover, I figure if he says no, I should listen.

1. A really good Houdan rooster of proper size, stance, mottling and crest.
2. A 14hh senior pony that I can just take out for the occasional ride.
3. An anti-raven barrier like an invisible bubble over the entire farm.

World Peace

OPPS Wrong Pageant LOL

To get to the Question
1. A real nice new Black Sumatra Roo to use in my Splash Project
2. a trio of Black Mottled Belgian D'Anvers
3. 2 Nice Lamancha Milk goats

Omg, I am gonna be going real exotic here now and its hard to even narrow it down to 3:

1) Nyala Antelope(either Mountain or Common)
2) Giant Sable Antelope
2) Marco Polo Argali Sheep

If I had the means(aka bottomless bank account) I would probably have a huge collection of exotic wild ungulates from around the globe.

Some of those lovely little black East Indie ducks

Shropshire sheep

Highland Cows

Nothing too exotic for this plain jane farm gal!

1#...A true miniature Hereford Herd
2#...Real Russian Razorbacks
3#...A Blue Heeler that is true to color

Mirycreek - I could help you with that female shepherd for SAR....I will be breeding a working litter for police/working in the spring.

My top three would be:

#1 - A german shepherd male, one that loves tracking as much as my girls and that compliments my girls in every way AND is a great herding dog AND is great around the chickens and leaves them alone.

#2 - Mille Fleur D'Uccles that are not aggressive - my very first chickens were D'Uccles and I loved them, but the roo was a nasty little bugger - will get those when I move

#3 - Gypsy Vanner horse

I would just want someone to do all the work so I could do all the play  

you kids are so much fun.

1. a small flock of Chantecler bantams
2. Arabian mare with old colonial bloodlines from the Splitters Creek stud in Australia (now disbanded I think) for trail riding and just because I believe in those old bloodlines.
3. an Australian sheepdog for my husband because he wants one bad.

Amen to that.

1) Very well trained Gypsy Vanner for my daughter, she absolutely loves these horses, and could do so much if we could afford a very well trained horse for her.
2) Flock of Bantam Buckeyes, I really like this breed and I think the bantam version being rare to Canada would be a nice difference in my grouping of birds
3) A large herd of Jersey cattle, along with a barn to house them in, and machines to do all the milking work.

thanks for the offer but she is on my wishlist only as our life at the moment allows us to only have livestock dogs...but who knows. one day circumstances may change thats why I have a wishlist!

I could make bantams happen for you my friend.

For me I would like

#1- Big Dogs! (Lab sized)
#2- Some laying hens (blue and green egg layers would be nice!)
#3- I got nothing for #3. We're still fairly new to our acreage so I haven't thought much about other animals.

1) Huge prairie spread like when I was a kid, over 4000 acres, but less than 6000.
2) a herd of Chianina
3) an Irish Wolfhound to sit beside me in my old Chevy as I drove through my herd of Chianina, checking them out.

PS, I already have the old Chevy.

I am a bit like you Authentic.  I am pretty ok with what I have as far as animals go.
I suppose if money was not a an issue I would have a very high powered cutting horse (or 2) and the money to show it LOTS!
Maybe a couple of ducks, but I think I like lusting after them better than I would like owning them.  
Some exceptional PChants would be cool too.

Meant to say this is a cool thread and I have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on it!

My wishlist is pretty plain jane too. And all landfowl.  

1. SOP bred Ameraucanas
2. SQ blue Andalusians
3. Plymouth Barred Rocks from Good Shepherd Ranch. Boy are they beautiful...

Are we talking ANYTHING?
I'd love to have a herd of elephant, on a tract of land big enough for them to be free, in their natural environment, free from harassment. Of course other animals would live there too!
I'd love to be able to own and therefore protect the ocean animals the same way.
Then a big area of tropical rain forest...
And then it would be a toss up between a Bouvier, a Napoleon Mastiff, or a Newfie to take out with my Clydesdale draft mule....
You did say unlimited, didn't you?

That sounds pretty groovy Auntyevil. Getting closer to Appway's world peace in scale, like it :-)

-I would love to have an easy 1000 acres, so I can exist without limits(4x4ing, snowmobiling, sitting, wandering around ect...)
-some purebred Percherons or Gypsy Vanners at least 2 cause everything needs a buddy.
-miniature donkey to keep the hubby happy and quiet even though it won't be LOL

I'm working on the old chevy. Uno do you know how hard it is to find a decent mid 80' Chev pickup, hard. Unless your hoarding all of them in your neck of the woods  

1 gypsy vanner horse
2 Ayam Cemani flock ( pure black chickens skin and all)
3 another well trained australian cattle dog to replace pud when he passes on.
