hi rustyme, thanks for the reply, you have just about hit the nail on the head, our family is a fam of 5, so my main intention is to feed the family with a good diet from our land, hence the pigs and chickens. the ponies are for the kids enjoyment. i was thing of a ewe or 2 in lamb, keep the ewe's eat the lambs, its the veg patches i'm really at and end with, a rotavator is a must i know, especially the size of tunnel's i am looking at, my pond is no where near 1/2 acre, more like 12 ft square, so ducks will not be good on there.
i'll keep playing with the plans on the land and try get a few photo's see what everyone comes up with,
