Yes and I did.
I bought a small hobby farm in NZ and raised sheep cattle, briefly a few pigs and of course chickens for fresh eggs.
Sadly I had heart surgery, lost a a wife to cancer and had to sell it.
But always wish for a few acres and a bit of space should I be fortunate to repeat the lifestyle. It was fantastic and learning things from my neighbours about caring for the animals.
I even did haymaking and planted a small orchard of assorted fruit trees - Heaven!!!
