Welcome to the forum - that's a decent amount of land.  Wish I had more than just my acre garden.  So I just have chooks and ducks apart from my dogs and cat.  At least I'm a bit better organised with my fruit this year - got my son to put up the remainder of my dog runs to create a fruit cage, then netted it to stop dissuade birds from coming in.  Now if only I had an air rifle i could pick off those cheeky pigeons that sit on the top and cock their heads to one side to have a looksee at what I am growing ;D

We have a couple of Shropshire ewes, and lambs.  They are big sheep aren't they!!

I have a friend in Shropshire, and was most disappointed when I visited not to see any Shropshire sheep!!!
