Hello folks

Really impressed by the forum so have joined!

I keep a small flock of sheep of mixed breeds for 10 years in Wiltshire, they are starting to get a bit old now!
Have also kept chickens in the past

I will be lurking on the sheep forum no doubt

Hello, welcome to the forum.  :wave:

We're in the east of Scotland. I've had enough of the sleet today so we've just lit the wood burner, think we'll settle down, snooze and maybe watch the rugby later.  :D :thumbsup:

We are certainly challenged by generous helpings of clay here. Rather squishy when it rains. Could be worse though.

Hello!

I'm probably not far from you then - I live on the Hants/Wilts/Dorset border and I graze sheep in the Fordingbridge-Salisbury area.

Have Fun!  :thumbsup:
