One to feed your garden and one to feed your animals.
Would you rather have unlimited compost or unlimited livestock feed?

Unlimited feed. assuming that is delivered. That would provide for unlimited compost. Now if I had to haul it home then I suppose the answer would change.

I'm in for feed! At $20 for a50# bag, and $10/bale for hay, vs building compost from the manure and food scraps - no brainer, for me.

It's funny, as I started thinking about this question, I settled on unlimited compost because with that I could make unlimited feed, which is sort of the opposite of the above couple answers. But it also might be that as a vegetarian, I need a lot more veggies than animals.
I agee with other votes for animal feed as it is expensive.
Feed the animal and get free stuff to compost.

Compost. I don't like taking care of animals and having them around, too much hastle and stress for me.

Feed! For many years I've been buying hay and feed to both feed my animals and the soil. I get dual use of the money the feed costs first it feeds the critters then the soil so a better bang for the bucks. Hopefully this year I stop buying feed. Just have to install another 1/4 mile of fence to enclose another 4-5 acres or so. Either way the animals produce manure which then turns to compost and feeds the soil. It is NOT the only form of compost I use though. I also gather rotted wood chip compost from the wood lot down the road.
Air and opportunity are all that stand between you and realizing your dreams!
Compost of course! I am vegetarian and don’t have animals except for dogs, and they are plenty of work. Compost is what I would like.
I say I don’t have animals. But the gnarled, dying apple trees house plenty of birds, and these birds poop below, fertilizing the garlic mustard (and further causing the decline of the tree. But nature gives!) I just gathered a large, beautiful bunch this morning.
I'd like to have unlimited livestock feed.
Wow, what a savings! And if there's surplus (I assume there would be with "unlimited"), there's more chop-and-drop.

Compost, hands down, you can grow anything with good compost! I get a volunteer from a bin I have in one garden, every year, pumpkins, butternut squash, tomatoes, fruit trees, flowers, etc
