Hello everyone. We bought our smallholding last year and then got locked down.

We're now looking to get our business going properly. We own 2.5 acres on the black mountain and are looking into getting sheep to graze the mountain. (we have a lot of grazing rights with the land.)

So, I'm going to be asking a lot of advice in the near future regarding everything we need to be doing and applying for etc.
We have a CPH and the land is registered in my name.

Ok that's it for now. Glad to be here,

Cheers

Cris and Debbie.

Sounds great, looking forward to hearing about it all as your adventure unfolds.

Have you chosen your type of sheep yet? 
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Hello and welcome.

Worth thinking about registering for VAT.

Get to know other graziers of mountain .... they will be your main source of information

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
