For those of us who have the land and facilities to raise our own "sausage not the hoof", this was a favorite breed of the American pioneers.

Even with the floppy ears and curly tail I'd be hard-pressed just to let one in the crosshairs walk away, they don't seem to posess a "live long and prosper" kind of color. They look to be fit for everything from sausage to my favorite ingredient in split-pea soup! RAY

The best way to ensure that a breed prospers is to find a market for the meat.

I have made a small fortune farming. Started with a large one.

I happen to know that there is a lot of money in farming. My family invested thousands.

You got to come to Australia to become a farmer.
The parasites in power, federal and state, are determined to bankrupt you.
No wonder everybody is trying to leave the land.
The outlook for cockies here is rather grim.
