Title: Hello!
Post by: hayball on March 19, 2012, 12:55:51 am

Hi from Dorset!

Im Rachel :-) Dairy farmers daughter, who married a sheep farmers son. Unfortunatly our dreams of working on the family farm haven't happened due to the financial climate, so we decided to stay small. We have now finally got our own little patch of ground and are starting out with our own sheep.

I look forward to getting to know you all :-)

Hi, a bit of a mish-mash! We have 3 in lamb pedigree Shetlands, one sheltland x Manx, and we have been given an Orphan lamb, which looks like it may be a suffolk?

We want to get some Dorsets really, and we will do soon. However the Shetlands were a nice place to start.
