Dairy farmers daughter. Started with goats, for milk, then a Guernsey cow, then Friesland sheep for milk to make cheese. Spare milk raised lambs and pigs and heavy poultry. Now have Lleyns and Saddle Back pigs. Tanned sheepskins, no longer legal now to Organic sheepskins, no chemicals. Member of the RBST for over 30 years. Maybe I can help you?
