Title: Hello from Oxfordshire!
Post by: Vicamott on December 22, 2021, 05:16:43 pm

Hello!

After spending hours on this website reading and re-reading every post available I decided it was time to create my own account and really start to converse with the community about the things we love!

I live in a small village in Oxfordshire surrounded by a beautiful farm that has recently been taken over by a family friend.  We help where we can, taking in the lambs born with difficulties and rehabilitating them so they can live a healthy life back on the farm.

Having never own livestock before this I'm really keen to learn as much as I can to give our animals the best chance they can get and appreciate every piece of knowledge you can give me!  :D

Vic  :)

Hello and welcome Vic - that's an unusual thing to be doing, but valuable to the farmer.  I look forward to hearing how it goes in spring  :hugsheep:

Is your friend experienced or are you all learning together? 

Whichever, make notes - there will be a book in your experiences!!  (Or to be more modern, I suppose you could do a blog ;) )
