It depends on the State.
The entire goat operation was incorporated so I had to go through Chapter 11 first. That covered the facilities and equipment. The goats were determined to be 'shop stock' so they rolled into personal assets and were again at risk under Chapter 7. No state attaches 'pets' as collateral, so all I had to do was give them names and I was back in business within a week.

 

Sounds like a pretty neat racket. I am moving farther out in the country when i eventually retire. On about 30 acres. Is fertilizer a major by-product? My brother-in-law currently runs some cows on my land as it is ajacent to his. I may want to kick him off and get into the goat business. If I were to get Angora goats, would I have to shear them like sheep? That sounds like more work than I want to get into.

 

Well.....great minds.

 

Good Grief!

 

I can heat my entire home with goat dung.
No utility bills though the neighbors turned on me when they got wind of what I was doing.

I really don't know about all the different breeds.
I think mine are 'Billy'.

Greetings everyone..been a while since I have been up here (currently deployed til OCT 2007) I would however like to know
how you all are able to pay cash for all this stuff and live debt free.... No way shape or form am I accusing anyone of not being debt free, just asking to share some info so i can possibly get there. I'm 27, in military, wasn't given a nice savings account by anyone, and have all way paid my bills on time. Wife works full time also! so someone please tell me where I am going wrong so I can get debt free

 

First off, thank you for your service, and sacrifice.

I'm not here to answer your questions, because I don't know the answer. I think I know where you're coming from though. I've never has so much as a co-signer for a loan. It seems sometimes that some of us are working a whole lot harder than others and still can't get ahead. I've pretty much accepted it. I don't know of any other way. I play the lottery on occasion. Maybe that'll pay off. Not likely though.

I think our society puts values on different things. Some professions are valued higher than others.

 

It's all about priorities and sacrifice.

What can you do without and what do you really need.

That kind of stuff.

Most people are not willing to do without now, for financial independence later.

 

Band Aid, I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

 

And on the flip side, I know people that have done nothing but work and save their whole lives only to drop dead before they could ever enjoy it. Not much of a life if you ask me. Fun now or fun later (if you make it). It's your choice.

 

Well Said

 

I work at the Ford plant. I am thinking real hard on taking the buyout($100,00 or $67,000 after taxes). That would get us caught up and have a nice amount to invest.
