Hey everyone!

I'm from Nottinghamshire and am looking to start a smallholding of my own (a few pointers would be highly appreciated). I've worked with livestock of sorts before but only have chickens, rabbits and my lovely Kelpie, Taff!  ;D

Welcome, there are so many possibilities, I would suggest only do things you find fun or enjoyable otherwise it is hard to keep the enthusiasm cleaning out the animals in mid winter  :thumbsup:

I have chickens and rabbits too  :wave:

How much land do you have to play with?

Hi there from southern Scotland  :wave:.

For general pointers for beginners, have a look back through previous posts.  There has been so much written on the topic that it's best to work your way through as many as you can, then ask specific questions as they arise.  We all love to talk so you'll get plenty of opinions  ;D
