Did you say "a few blokes"
I'm just trying to think what the financial benefit would be, or even the cash crop
Bloke farming tho, intriguing idea..
Sensible answer from me would be chooks, more of if you have some already. They're the only livestock I know that more than pay their way and if you protect them from foxies, they're a sound investment. Sheep are too suicidal and/or houdini-natured for the most part, tho there are exceptions I gather. The bigger the animal the higher the cost and lower number you can produce per acre, which concentrates risk of loss and high vet bills
As a hobby or to supplement, yes, but if you rely on them then a bad year or low prices can stop you in your tracks. Diversification on a minor scale to try your hand, yes, that's smallholding, but don't go into single large species without a willingness to turn your savings into an overdraft
