Title: Quick intro
Post by: Weedy on December 23, 2009, 06:25:51 am

Hi Folks,
As the title says Just a quick intro, I currently rent aprox 8 acres of land around the south staffordshire area. I currently only keep pedigree Ryeland sheep, but I'm hoping to Keep a few pigs later in the year and if I can find a suitable peice of land a little closer to home through the next few months I would like to keep some poultry too.

Cheer's Weedy

Only seven at the moment, but have plans to extend to around fifteen by the end of next year. I cut two thirds for hay twice a year. plan to try haylage next year if I get chance.

Cheers Weedy.
