Title: Hello from Worcestershire
Post by: TallTrees on January 15, 2018, 09:29:41 pm

Hello
I always find this site useful and decided to join.
My OH and I have about 5 acres and we have recently finished building our own cottage.
We have 3 dogs, 18 chickens mostly bantams. Two goatlings (weather and a nanny)
And 19 primitive sheep - shetlands, hebrideans and black welsh. (All nice and small - easy to handle)
Just starting to get ready to put out some raised beds for own vegetables!
Still learning as we go along but loving every minute!
I really would love to specialise in Arapawa goats. Not many at all in uk. But have no funds to ship some across from New Zealand.
Live up a hill near River Severn!

I had forgotten that the River Severn is part of Worcestershire. I always think of the county as part of the Midlands. All the same, a beautiful part of the country.


I'm afraid I don't know much about goats but all the manure from your chickens and sheep should be great for filling those raised beds. :)
