Thank you for your messages.
Yes I have been looking into courses but seems none around my area (Hertfordshire) and yes I have been reading & researching as much as I can but experience would be the best way to learn and I have a kind neighbor who has a small flock who has been very helpful.
I have also registered with a vet who was really helpful and understanding of my situation.
I will arrange a visit when its time for vaccination so I can learn from the vet.
Some of you must be wondering 'she doesn't know what a mart is!?'
I should have mentioned that I moved to this country few years ago and english isn't my native language!
My apologies ( I now know it is another type of word for market!) and hope you will be forgiving when my wording is a little off!
Also I used my courage to ask the local butcher if he would buy the meat from me and he said yes!
So now I can think about breeding for meat (cross with my kind neighbor's Hebridean!)
It has been my long dream to have a small flock of sheep and I very much appreciate all your responses as everyones experience and thought are different and it helps me to sort my thinking out too!
Thank you!
