Title: Fit Like

Not accidental & not a smallholder, hoping that won't bar us.  I was convinced I'd signed up ages ago, but apparently not. I/we have a smallish mixed traditional family farm in the NE of Scotland. We fatten heifers, grow barley & grass,  a very small hobby flock of heinz 57 sheep, have 2 KuneKune sows (outside pets), one pot licker of a farm dog and 3 farm cats.

Plenty of other farmers on here too.  If you think you fit here, you do :)   :hug:

I'm definitely a non-accidental smallholder these days but was a wannabee smallholder became an accidental farmer for a decade, north of Hadrian's Wall.  Wouldn't have missed those experiences for the world but glad to be on a smaller scale these days.

Love to know more about your small hobby sheep flock - do you spin :spin:, by any chance?  My flock became very varied and contains non-breeders as well as breeders, friends say I blend my wool on the sheep!  lol.
