I'd quit my job at the Christian camp and retreat center and work as an electrician, while the wife stayed home and kept house(I'm old-fashioned that way). I know darn well 100 lambs and 50 rabbits isn't going to pay for 5 kids. : )
I'd also rent the ground I wasn't using to the farm I work for now. They're good, Christian people and I get along with them real well.
With some of that $50,000 I'd get a geo-thermal heating system installed for the house and tractor shop and never have a gas bill or A/C bill.
I'd basically be a hobby farmer, so I'd purchase the corn and grain rations at the feed mill and grind it and mix it myself. I don't think I'd take the leap of raising my own corn, and besides, I can get pelletized ration at the mill to mix with corn and get a balanced diet for the lambs. Rabbit feed would come from the mill and be stored in a little bin outside the rabbit barn with an auger running inside.
Would you like to hear about the color of the buildings and how I would arrange the tools in my shop too? Hehe I really could go on like this for hours. Thanks, Dave, for letting me share.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
