You should look into dexter cattle. Awesome small breed and easy to handle"Don't give up the land."
We plan to do a bit of hobby farming, but primarily we want to set up a family home.
Amen great choice :] Another easy to handle breed I hear. I was raised with herefords and black baldies. mostly with a few holsteens and a guernsey or two thrown in. {Best milkers were guernsey}Amen and Amen, the farm life does teach kids the value in a hard days work, something lacking in many kids today.
We have milk goats (Nigerian Dwarf), laying chickens and guineas, but are looking into getting some Scottish Highland cattle, which should do well here in the north country.
He says he wanted more notice because he wasn't prepared to support himself yet.
He should have been prepared to support himself a good ten years ago. Barring any actual disability, which I doubt.
He blames his loss of visitation rights with his son was the reason his parents ordered him out.
I know it can be a rough world out there. MB
Maybe somebody here on-site would like to adopt this nice young man?
My maternal great-great grandparents (former slaves) were in the 1889 Oklahoma land rush. That farm/sawmill succored the family through the Dust Bowl and Great Depression until the uncle who controlled it sold it off in the 60s to move to Oklahoma City.
Doggone his time.
Now here we are about to retire, and after living on the other side of the planet more than once, I find myself searching for an acre of land only 50 miles from that old family farm.
LOL! It sounds like this guy needs a dose of Dave Ramsey's "boot camp".

We contacted him and told him what you recommended.
He said he would be glad to go but, he would have to take his mommy and daddy with him as his roommates.
He stays home with them and he don't leave home without them.
I wonder does he plan on being buried with them?

Maybe avoiding child support payments is a reason he hasn't worked? Men get raped by the courts, being denied custody but being forced to pay sometimes onerous amounts of child support.

I cannot believe you people think a 30 year old man is old enough to be out on his own. I mean you cant even get social security until you are 65. This generation owes it to their children to support them ya know. Otherwise it's deemed "judgemental"![]()
He can sleep in our motor home for 4 days. But then he'll have to move on.
Our son got to stay in it 1 year.
You should take him MtBob, he might be a good farm hand and gather eggs and all? lolYou have a very big heart and we will forward your address to the young man. But, one year won't work I think he wants to stay there till he's 82.
I will donate some Alzheimer clothing for him and mail that to you.
