Working, not lurking
« on: May 30, 2011, 07:31:55 pm »
Having checked my "history" I realised I never introduced myself - how rude!

My name's Helen, I work for a Wildlife Trust with sheep (Hebridean and Heb x) and cattle. My own personal interest is tending towads sheep though. I own two Shropshire ewes and this year's lambs (two male, 3 female); and a couple of months ago a four year old collie bitch came into my life. I have had and lost 2 trios of poultry to Mr Fox.  >:(

So, general thoughts and plans are to rear lamb for the freezer, tan the lamb/sheepskins, and hopefully master the pegloom to use the shorn fleeces!

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
