we have some lovely shetland sheep in a variety of colours (lambs, last years lambs and ewes which have lambed before).

we'd love some pigs (for meat) and a couple of goats (for milk) but right at the mo we can't really afford to buy either, so just wondering if anyone on the offchance might be interested is some kind of swap/barter?

we also have laying chickens, ducks (khaki campbells) and hubbards (for meat).

any takers?

hi judith, thanks for your post.  I should have said (sorry) that i meant in the future!  Our freezer is currently full of pork and hams as our last 2 just went away a few weeks ago, so looking for weaners to bring on with a view to sending them away at the end of the year.
thanks
laura
