Title: Hello from the Scottish Borders
Post by: mowhaugh on August 01, 2013, 09:57:58 pm

Hi, I'm Louise, I live near Kelso in the Scottish Borders.  My husband is a 'proper farmer of approx 800 Lairg type North Country Cheviot ewes, as well as doing contract tractor driving, fencing, combine driving etc. off the farm', and I 'farm' two small boys, William ( 2 1/2) and Angus (1 1/2), a small flock of Kerry Hill Sheep, a few hens and some Highland Ponies.  Looking forward to getting lots of useful tips from the forum.

 :wave: hello and welcome Louise.
By your intro it will be you giving me the tips, that's a might big farm compared to the little 4 or 5 acres I'm looking for to keep a mini flock   :sheep:  :love:
There again by the  size of tractor and equipment and amount of animals my two boys 5y and 11y have on their list I think more your acreage is needed  ::)

Welcome from a complete beginner - we've recently moved to 15 acres near Allendale, Northumberland and have already picked up loads of useful information here.  :wave:
