Title: Hi from the Isle of Islay
Post by: janeislay on September 13, 2010, 01:40:49 pm

This looks a very useful forum; hope I can pick up a lot of tips  ;D

I breed Highland Ponies on Islay and keep Lacaune milk sheep, Icelandic and Hebridean sheep, chickens and have just reared a few Bourbon Red Turkeys and Guinea Fowl.  We butcher our own sheep and Red Deer and I'm a real food nutter.

Hi and welcome from North Yorkshire.  :wave: Among other animals we have Bourbon Red turkeys too.  First time this year.  I love them already, even though they will all depart here in December...  We have had guinea fowl until recently but would like more next year.

Hello Jane from wet, windy and thoroughly miserable Wales.   I'd love to visit the Scottish Isles - I bet its nice up there in the summer months (well, some of them at least, bit like Wales!!!).  Welcome to the site.
