Hi my names Martin and i live in the Avon Valley in the South Hams in South Devon, My parents and i have a smallholding of some 50 acres which has been down sized to this acerage over the last ten years due to my Farthers health.
I have been involved in livestock farming all my 40+ years of my life and enjoy it everyday. We have over the years had Pedigree AA Cattle and around 250 breeding commercial ewes and a herd of Pedigree British Alpine , Anglo Nubian and AOV Dairy goats. Now we are only small fry we have two Pedigree Dexter cows with calves at foot , two Saddleback x weaners for the freezer, around 60 ewes ( pedigree Zwartbles,Pedigree Hampshire and few cross breeds) plus lambs also poultry in numerous breeds .
Well that's me i hope u all enjoy ur Smallholdings and have fun discovering the joys of living with animals ,.

Hello and welcome from a rather dismal north Cumbria

I have friends and relatives in Devon, used to live in Exmoor and was active in DASH. I do miss my friends, especially the DASHers, and Oh! I miss summer!

But, I love it here (apart from the weather) and am at last living the life I have wanted for so long.
