Things You'll Need:
- Animals
- Land
- Heated barn
- Safe cages
-
Step 1
Decide what type of fur you want to sell. Remember that animals are not free and require a large financial investment for profits to be realized.
-
Step 2
Find where you can apply for your animal license. Your State's web page will have information as to how and where you apply. There is also a fee that coincides with licensure--this fee is annual.
-
Step 3
Determine just how involved you want to be in your fur farm. If you have another job, remember that animals require a great deal of care.
-
Step 4
Write a business plan and find out just how you are set financially. This is a costly venture. Do not spend every penny you have on start up costs--there will always be hidden expenses down the road.
-
Step 5
Expel the idea that a fur farm is a hobby. Rather, it is a commitment. A fur farm is a full-time business—there are no vacations or days off.
-
Step 6
Discover if you have a fear of little creatures. If you do then a fur farm is not for you. You will have to feed and handle these animals daily--you won't be able to if you are afraid.
-
Step 7
Investigate the economy of the area where you want to start your fur farm. A farm is expensive. See if you can find a cheaper part of the country to farm.
