Thanks Victorian Farmer you are right and I had thought to myself if theres one thing I should be thankful for it's that it's summer.
I have just 2 weeks left now as I've spent the last 4 finding somewhere and trying to negotiate extra land.
I hadn't thought of putting anything out "on loan" so many be I should also add I'd be happy to loan out cow's, sheep, ponies don't know what the legalities are regarding loaning out cows and sheep so any advice would be much appreciated
But anyone interested in starting with cattle and sheep but not wanting to bite the bullet and buy could try having them on loan for a while and see if it's for them
