Rain Rain...Go away

Ok, as a farmer it seems very wrong to be tired of rain, especially coming from Colorado. But in the last week we have had over 8 inches of rain and it just rains all day without letting up. The good thing is that there doesn't seem to be any large areas of standing water. I have been in touch with a few goat and sheep breeders. I want to start raising Hair sheep like Dorpers, Katahdin, and possibly some other hair breeds. They don't need shearing and they are very meaty. As for meat Goats I think i will stick to Boers, Kikos, and Fainting Goats.The market for meat goats and sheep is very high and we have to import over 70% of them to America. I don't know how many I will get before winter. I really want to concentrate on getting the alpacas out here first. I am also getting a guinea hog. he is so cute. We will probably fall in love with the little porker and have to use him as a stud instead of eating him.
