Hallo,

My husband and I are not yet holders but we are aiming to be. Looking to keep a few pigs, chickens and sheep. I think this site has lots of advice and I hope that you won't mind silly questions as we hopefully start our journey!!

Blimey!! I should have updated this ages ago! We now have moved to our little Farm. We have 9 acres and have 4 Alpacas and have just bought our first 6 sheep. We plumped for Jacob sheep as they are quite hardy.
We have been here just over a year. It is hard work but the best thing we ever have done; the children love it!

I looked at this as it came up as a new message - then I saw that I'd welcomed you from Alloa - and we moved nearly fours years ago  ;D ;D

Really good to hear that you achieved your ambition. Jacobs are lovely sheep. An excellent choice.
