Title: Hi from a new member in West Yorkshire
Post by: local yokel on August 26, 2011, 11:38:59 am

Hi
My wife and I have a small holding of 5.5 acres. We have a shetland cow and heifer - with another cow and calf coming soon.
Also Pygmy goats, a cob and a Dales pony and 1 hen!
We have had horses and ponies for almost 15 years but the venture into other livestock is still firly new to us having only had the cattle and goats for 2 1/2  years.
Often we wonder what on Earth we are doing this for but it keeps us fit and sometimes it's even a pleasure!

Hi and welcome from sunny Carnoustie  :wave:

We've got 2 Shetland heifers that I'm trying to get in calf (fngers and toes crossed currently). Are you members of SCBA? The AGM is near Driffield with a visit to Epicure's Larder. If you're going, we'll meet you there  :cow: :cow:
