Hello
« on: April 04, 2012, 08:41:14 pm »
I am on the point of retirement; we have some 20 acres in Cornwall, part grass part woodland, we keep chicken ducks and geese and a small tractor and now want to expand our interests. At present I sell the grass to a neighbour.  I'd like to have some livestock and have joined up to see what others are doing and to be able to pick the brains of others. The only expertise I have to offer in return is experience in building large sheds/small barns.

 :wave:  Hi and welcome from a chilly and windy Shropshire.  Only got a back garden but keep goats in it and grow fruit and veg.  Might need some advice soon on extending my goat shed.

I shall be interested to hear what you decide to expand into - and jealous of your weather  :)

What's the weather like in my homeland? I'm "next door" in Devon now and it's nasty, cold and rainy. Whereabouts in Cornwall are you? :wave:
