Post by: smithm31 on August 30, 2020, 05:17:43 pm

Hi everyone. We're a little late to the party, in our 50s and first timers to land holding. We've 8 acres across 3 fields. 5 sheep, 2 ponies and 5 dogs. We're in Fochabers by Elgin Moray and on a vertical rather than a learning curve! Hoping there's nice helpful people on here.

Never too late, they say!  lol

Plenty take it up in their 50s or thereabouts, myself included.  (Bought a moorland farm aged 49.  Well, I didn't like the purple hats I looked at ;p )

Lots of advice on here, and lots of people to cheer you on if you ever need it.

What sheep do you have?  Shall you :spin: their fleece?
