What a great overview! There appear to be lots of options for replacing or, at least, supplementing feed for livestock. As always, preservation is the pivotal point for making the cycle productive - be it for animal food or our own. Thanks for putting this together!

You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for reading, as that means much more to me these days than even upvotes:^)
I'm watching a BBC series on YouTube about farming in Victorian times. They discuss the very systems you're describing and it really shows how interconnected everything is. Since this is six hours long (!), I've been watching in 1 hour spans. It covers a full calendar year (Sept-Sept). I'm up to the fifth episode and they just tackled the haying! I'm betting you'll get a kick out of seeing a working farm implementing and trying to integrate the various aspects into a smooth operation.
(You're welcome for both. ;~D)
I have watched that series too, but I would like to rewatch it again. Really good info in there! Thank you for reminding me of it. Of course, we can take advantage of some tech they did not have. Praise God! Lol...
Good point on the tech advancements! Although, I thought it bought up a great point on the switch they did from wood to coal. That was a step backwards as the coal was so much dirtier and it tainted the food that they had to devise ways of keeping it out. Two steps forward and one step back sometimes... lol!
