Title: Hello :)
Post by: Ladygrey on June 18, 2012, 10:26:13 am

Hi there,

I have only just seen this place to introduce myself  ::) I have made a few posts already but now Im going to say hi  :wave:

My name is Jess, I am 21 and I live on a smallholding in between reading and Basingstoke on the hampshire/berkshire border.
I have 4 acres and I breed pedigree Kunekune pigs (I have 3 girls, 1 castrate and 1 baby boar)
I currently have 15 sheep made up of 12 lambs and 3 ewes. I buy in orphan lambs in march, wean them at 25-30 days old and rear them on good grass to be finished by september-ish where I sell them straight to the public ( at a good profit  ::) )

I have just got three ewes and hope to breed from them so I have ewes feeding lambs aswel as me feeding the orphans I buy in for next spring :)

I am hoping to rear on any unsold pigs for sausages/pork but so far I havnt had any unsold, so no porkers yet!

oh yeah and I have free range laying hens running everywhere of mixed breeds having find and playing hide and seek with the eggs...

Thanks  :wave:
