Hello from me in South Lanarkshire  ;D
I made a return to farming (lol, that makes it sound impressive ;)) a few years ago after my family gave it up when I was a teenager. So far it's been fairly slow (and punctuated by babies !) but we're getting there  ;D
Pigs are wonderfully addictive and although we only had a pet goat when I was young - he was very amusing.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hello from Derbyshire.  We keep a number of goats (and still growing!) hopefully starting out with a  couple of piglets soon, to join our menagerie of other animals.
