Good afternoon all,
I am new to this site, and am finding my way in the world of small holding. We have 14 acres and I currently keep hens for eggs, and fatten two saddleback pigs every year for the freezer. I am keen to move into cattle, however I fear that that the local dept. of ag. are not very pro. the small holder as they require any herd number applicant to have a lot of expensive cattle-specific handling facilities. Are there any Ulster members who have gone down this route?
