'ello from 'ampshire
« on: October 07, 2011, 08:13:46 pm »
Hi,I am hopeful of renting a few acres near me soon and then achieving a life long dream of keeping a few sheep.
I haven't acquired any yet, and I'm still undecided on a breed although "Dartmoors" are most likely. I am currently trying to source all the bits and pieces I will need and then the plan is to pick up some lambs/ lambs and ewes in the Spring.
I have also been buying books off Amazon and just booked myself on a "sheep course". I have also been reading a lot of the posts in the forum which have been very useful. Thank you to all those who have directly/indirectly helped me already and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all.

Hi from Darzet!  :wave:
I think Dartmoor sheep are an excellent idea - as long as they're Greyfaces!
