I feel sorry for the farmers. If the ewes are in lamb you cannot slaughter, and if there is nowhere for them to go, what is the poor bloke going to do? I have no wish to offend anyone, but feel frustrated as i am surrounded by pony paddocks, and have no way to rent more land.
Sorry I kinda thought it was summat to do with your issue about rare breeds as it was one of your first reply to the thread you started??
You haven't hit a nerve with me, like I said your opinion, nor anyone else's makes the slightest bit of difference to the way I keep/breed/sell my sheep, I thought you liked the lively debate?
I will admit to finding this thread bizarre and still don't actually get what your gripe is, but then no matter.
Wine cellar and truffles?? I suspect I am as far the opposite to that as it is possible to be
. Mate I don't even have a house let alone a cellar!
My sheep make me zero money, they probably pay for themselves in a good year. But I don't have them to produce cash. I have them to produce stuff I need/use.
