Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scotley" data-source="post: 4301967" data-attributes="member: 11520">OOC: Alvar would like to invest 180,000 silver in "Nascent Company for Development" with 90% silver shares and 10% gold. Alvar's brother, Petetro, is a noble of Howece and may be interested in buying some shares as well. "I think we should consider moving beyond goats. In order to clear land we are going to need heavy animals such as oxen and horses. I would like to add a considerable amount of good breeding stock to the company as my investment. I will also need some space for people as well. In addition to this we should aquire plows, harrows and planters for say 100 teams of animals. We should get enough male horses and oxen to fill out the teams and perhaps twice that number of females to begin breeding additional stock for future growth and cavalry needs. Mounts for a party of scouts should be added as well. Finally, cows for milk on the voyage and a few bulls to begin breeding as  soon as possible to develop herds would give us a nice counterpoint to the goats and sheep. It will give us greater variety of livestock and I think long term meet, butter, milk, yogurt and cheese from cattle as well as goats will be desirable. I suggest we get enough equipment to start a dozen family dairies and plan on bringing in more in future. If their is money left from my investment I would spend it on arms and armor to be sold or rented by the company to the colony. As others have said we will need to have those things upon arrival." </blockquote>
