Hi I'm Nigel and my wife and I run a pub in rural Herefordshire, we have just got our holding number and would like to start keeping, goats and sheep (miniature varieties) to entertain the children. (and because we have always wanted some), we already have golden silkies and rabbits. I am sure I will be posting on a regular basis when we have got some stock.
