I just terminated my LLC and a follow up on the dramatic post I made about getting rid of all my animals. 🙃🫠
I did end up parting with almost half of my rabbits...I lost 3 chickens to a fox and sold all my quail, quail chicks and my blue/olive hatch chicks. But the freakin main flock of birds still sound like crap. The mites are *better* for the moment but I have a feeling this is going to be an ongoing issue until I get a different coop built.
I have officially terminated my LLC, after receiving confirmation of the applications approval. It's a bittersweet moment. I'm sad that my idea of owning an LLC and running a business has to go, but at the same time I don't think I really needed it in the first place.
My goals have always been to be self-sufficient, and teach real-life skills to my kids. I also want to involve my community and provide for my neighbors. None of those things actually require an LLC.
I was initially worried about the liability of certain things but at this point I have been functioning as a closed flock, and I've learned how to screen my customers. Most of them understand how livestock works and I am very transparent about our practices, any preventative drugs we have used, and the health of our animals from the beginning until now. I also ONLY use FDA approved medications- even if there are *better* drugs out there...
If we were the only ones consuming our products I'm sure I'd be less hesitant to deworm with Valbazen and treat mites with Ivermectin...but for now I'm going to continue using Permethrin, and Safegaurd Aquasol. 🙃 (those are the cheapest and most readily available to me anyways)
I guess if you made it this far- thank you for supporting us for all this time- and just because your plan to reach your goal has to change doesn't mean your goals and dreams have to change with it! 😊
Picture of dirty sticky Snot for tax. 😅
