Hello and welcome to TAS! Hope you find it enjoyable and useful.
Did you know there are quite a few herds of Shetland cattle in North Wales? Would that make an interesting article for Life in North Wales magazine?

no i did not know that. I know a lot of rare breeders in N wales but none of the shetland breeders. I do a lot of conservation grazing work and we are always looking for animals to graze different sites so might be good to contact some of them. click on this link - im on page 45

That was very entertaining! I'll have a word with our Welsh rep and see what we can do. Can you email me or give me your email address to pass on to her please?

Hi Rosemary,
i dont know if you can post a general notice rather than in a specific category, but I'm sure many of your members over the years have looked for a bit of extra land - or even perhaps have looked to land share. I just wanted to warn everybody about an organization called Fresh Start Land Enterprise. I think they have now gone out of business (good!) but just in case they be operating still - stay away from them, its just a big con.
