Advantages of Mini Farm Animals

Many miniature farm animals may be raised as pets such as mini horses or miniature donkeys and require only small farms. Mini farm animals are easier to manage and take up less space. The other benefit of mini farm animals is food consumption. Mini farm animals require much less feed and forage than their full size cousins and produce less manure to deal with.

Hobby Farms

Thousands of families in Florida maintain hobby farms. These hobby farms raise both full size and miniature species of farm animals. For example, many hobby farms love mini cows and mini goats. Also, these farms may produce eggs, wool, and milk for sale on a local basis.

Production Farms

Florida is one of the largest cattle producing states in the nation. Favored breeds are Angus, Brahman, Florida Cracker, and Senepol cattle. Sheep and goats are also raised commercially for meat, milk, and wool.

Dairy farming is also a strong contributor to the Florida economy. With over 123,00 cows producing about 2.34 million pounds of milk per year Florida ranks as a major milk producer. Interestingly, goat dairy farms are a growing category as more consumers seek out goat milk and cheese.

Florida is not a big pig producing state with only about 16,000 head taken to slaughter each year. Compare this to Iowa where over 20 million swine are brought to market annually.

Florida Livestock Auctions

Livestock auctions are held at Okeechobee Livestock Market and the Arcadia Stockyard to mention a few.
