I have 2 OSB pigs that will be going on their one way journey next month. 3 coloured Ryeland sheep, about to get 2 white Ryelands also. I have 4 chickens, 3 ducks, 2 geese, a cat and a dog.
Its all very new to me as we have only had this place for 5 months.

Abbie,
I've only had mine since June so can't help with meat prices but what I can say, so far, is that they are very well behaved. No escapees, in fact no atempts at anything like that.
I got mine because, as well as being docile, I wanted a fleece that is good for spinning.
