Personal experience and production goals summary:

Have a small herd of hogs that I have been handling and selling to local clientele. The goal is to take the operation I've been running and expand it to five acres (wooded or open grassland). In addition to this, I aim to add a sheep flock to our enterprise, for which I'd need a minimum of 10 acres to start. Land doesn't need to be in perfect condition, and no permanent infrastructure outside a water source is needed. I utilize mobile electric fencing for everything, and keep my animals moved regularly. I'm happy to discuss any and all opportunities with any potential land owners in Gaston County and surrounding areas.
