Hello and welcome!  Quite a few of us Derbyshire folk on here now .....although I seem to be the only one in North Derbys.  Which area are you in?

We have a large free range flock of hens - lots of ex batts as I am involved in their rescue.  22 goats of various breeds, 10 ponies, mainly pure bred Dales and Fells, sheep, llama, plenty of farm cats and dogs.  No longer keep cows due to the TB problems in our area, which is sad.
