Hi from NW Highlands
« on: September 22, 2013, 07:39:50 pm »
Usually a lurker too shy to introduce myself on forums but thought I'd give it a go.

Recently built a new house on our croft in the NW highlands, moved in last year and now enjoying living with my fiancee and our puppy. We had our first piglets arrive this weekend - two saddleback/middlewhite crosses. Would now like to get some sheep possibly 3-4 Soay or Shetlands next year. Dare say will be looking for plenty of advice, particularly regarding the sheep!

hello from North Wales  :wave:
This is indeed the place for lots of good advice, sheep and otherwise.
I got my small flock of Soays just a couple months ago, and already very taken by them, they are great!

Hi from South Wales   ............... absolutely adored NW highlands when we went there 2 years ago .......... but couldn't do the short days in winter.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
