i have thought about the bison as well but the fencening would be huge money there used to a guy intown that raised them and he did o.k. with them but they were always out and a pain in the but he said the smaller animals would be better for me not as much cost and easyer to handle as well.
no, i am saying a high fence ranch for livestock animals goats rams etc. that would be fenced in. you kinda have to read all the posts to see what i am thinking. and i would not do bison we talked about that in the first parts of this to hard to keep fenced in and handle.you could read shootmore's post and see why i don't want animals that big
Don't be surprised if the latest gazillionaire to buy a private island in the San Juans shows up in dark, stylish shades. He's James Jannard, the founder and major shareholder of designer-sunglass maker Oakley Inc. Jannard is paying $22 million for Speiden Island, a 500-acre isle with abundant wildlife and its own airstrip that sits close to the watery divide between the United States and Canada. Described as "secretive" by Forbes (which last summer put his wealth at $1 billion), Jannard will acquire the island through convoluted maneuvers by a shell company aptly named Under The Radar Inc. He could not be reached for comment. His moves are chronicled in full detail, however, in the SEC documents filed by the island's current owner, Alaska Northwest Properties. The small public company is selling its other holdings, giving its few shareholders a big payout and then being swallowed by Jannard's shell. Why sell now? Alaska Northwest execs figured the stock market boom meant that a lot of option-enriched executives might be island shopping. So, the filing says, last fall pictures and particulars were sent to some of the usual local suspects: Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Scott Oki, Attachmate chairman Frank Pritt and Orin Edson, founder of the Bayliner yacht business. None showed interest (Allen, for one, had just purchased Lopez Island's Sperry Peninsula for $8 million, and he owns another island in Rosario Strait as well). Then Jannard unexpectedly surfaced with a $12 million offer, and negotiations led to the final $22 million deal that should be OK'd by Alaska Northwest shareholders next month.
pathfinder you got it now to much $ for the fence and hard to maintain the bision. no deer have to have special expensive permits and more $ for fence i am looking at animals that are smaller.the animals that i am looking at are billy goats, painted desert rams, Texas dahl sheep, muflon, black hawaiian, Jacobs sheep, etc most like the rams that you would hunt in Texas. these are all considered livestock breeds and not classified under exotic for this state.
Thats alot of money for that island....

For me the size of the property matters more than whether it is fenced or not.
Make sure if you are getting ANY animals from out of state you get the proper paperwork form the Dept. of Agriculture. They have recently changed and allegedly plan on enforcing the rules with importing any animal/livestock in Washington (mad cow deal) . I got a multi-page letter from them and all I deal with is birds. It could get real expensive if you do not have everything approved ahead of time . Good luck.
