Title: Hello!
Post by: Gunestone on May 06, 2017, 08:22:15 am

Hello all!  :wave:

From a smallholding in formation in Shropshire. We have lots of poultry at the moment with all our broody ducks and hens!

We had 2 hebs and 3 castlemilks last year, but sold them after a awful experience with flystrike, but have the sheep bug now and after vowing we'd never have them again now have 3 cades and 2 more on the way, also thinking about Icelandic sheep in the autumn!  ;D

Looking forward to talking with you

I fully understand the sheep bug thing, especially with Hebs.

Not that far from us then. We are in Telford, just at the top of the Ironbridge Gorge. If you want to meet some mad goats (as well as mad person) you are welcome to visit.
