Hello from South west Scotland
« on: July 28, 2020, 10:04:54 am »
Hi to everyone on here, we have just moved on to a 4 acre small holding in South West Scotland.  It is absolutely amazing with a total of 31 animals so far including ducks, ex battery hens, pygmy goats, ryeland sheep as well as a nutty german shepherd!! No doubt over the years I am gonna need a lot of advice. Can't wait to retire and e joy it full time. Oh well I'm sure the next 20 years will fly by.  :wave: oh forgot to mention the 2 horses and 2 toy ponies lol

That is a *lot* of stock for 4 acres of Scotland...

But good luck, and do shout if you need any help!

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

I was wondering how to put it myself but you've done it for me Sally  :D  It's also a lot of stock to take on straight from the beginning of your smallholding adventure.  Good luck and I hope you're blessed with good weather, healthy stock and plenty of energy for your new adventure  :thumbsup:
