[Fortuna]

We are very new to this site.

We have a registered smallholding that we have ostensibly been using to keep horses on, but now being down to two on six acres, we have decided to raise lambs purely for eating and keeping the grass down! - As there will be no breeding programme, rare breeds are not on the agenda! (At the moment We really don't want to get involved with the terrors of breeding and keeping).

We are registered, have our holding number, and an extensive additional library!

I know about ear tag requirements for our intentions - what i really could do with is advice on:

Where to buy

When to buy

How long to raise

When to send for slaughter

We live in Cambs/Norfolk border area.

All advice greatly received!
