Title: Cumbrian Smallholding
Post by: Pigsmightfry on January 04, 2015, 07:53:51 pm

Hello,

We have a small holding in North Cumbria which we have grown slowly over the last 2 years. We've been so busy I've only just got round to joining the forum but we have been reading it for ages.

We started with chickens and ducks and now have a small flock of sheep, 2 breeding sows, a registered OSB boar, some OSB growers and 16 weaners. We also keep bees and have 2 cats.

Dave and Charlotte
