Congratulations all  :thumbsup:
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

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 happened to be at Dan and Rosemary's today, George looks to be a right cracker (please note i know nothing about cattle) his mum Breeze is certainly very attentive of him though, he is one well looked after little man!!!
