Hiya!
« on: January 21, 2015, 03:12:04 pm »
Hi, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.  :wave:  I along with my sons and my parents hope to start a wee smallholding, we have a farming background, and wish to do it ourselves with some actual animal husbandry involved rather than the factory farming that seems most popular these days. The plan is Anglo nubian goats for milk etc, and also to breed and keep Norfolk Bronze Turkeys. With some hens for eggs/meat. My Dad also want to go down the biomass route, as a timber harvester he's well placed for it.
Look forward to reading about all your adventures and picking your brains!!  :farmer:
Sally.

welcome to TAS  :wave:
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Welcome from yet another Sally  :wave:
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
