Hate those sort of programmes.Thats how the country got into such a mess in the first place..people being encouraged to buy properties as investments instead of HOMES.They all seem to want to commute not live or work in the country and go for fancy stuff like alpaca's and pygmies instead of farming their land with working animals not pets.

Generally I agree with JJ. Brucklay, at least you work in the country too  :-*

As for sanity brought about by any sort of goat keeping, it seems to me it must be a very relative term  :innocent:

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
