    Hi Karl, I just did an Animal Roll Call over on my Sugar Mountain Farm blog. In a nutshell, the porkers out weigh everyone else put together by a factor of 17 or more. The pigs also out number the rest of us

    Thanks for your interest in my animal roll call. I think mine roll call will be disappointing since I'm not homesteading yet.

    2 cats
    4 fish
    1 snail
    3 humans

    That's it. We do foster kittens often so the number can be higher at times.

    Here at The Coop we have the following:

    6 people
    1 dog (soon to be 2 when we find the perfect puppy)
    28 cats and kittens
    1 Appaloosa horse
    2 roosters
    5 hens (used to be 30)

    2 or more fox that have decreased our chicken numbers dramatically while we on vacation.

    The Coop is now thinking of ways to outfox the fox!
