Hello from Armagh Ireland!
« on: January 29, 2014, 08:03:06 pm »
Hello! :) I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself :)

Myself and my father currently have 20 acres on which we intend to run a small flock of pedigree Suffolk sheep and on our big 7 acre field we would like to strip graze 10 aberdeen angus calves ;D

In our 5 acre garden I currently grow assorted vegetables and flowers. We have a small pond where I would like to fence off and keep some ducks :)

We also have some chickens and we had some goats but unfortunately they passed away :( and we had two jack donkeys which now call home the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon


Please feel free to say Hi :wave: and tell me what you think of my plans :D

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.

Hello and welcome, how exciting for you.  :)  I am a wannabee small holder.  We used to grow our own veg about 10 years ago but the day job got in the way, so OH and I determined we going to grow something this year, even got a few pennies out of next months pay packet to buy his and hers spades & forks! :D  OH said not to a pink wheelbarrow, dunno why  ;D  I just thought we'd never misplace it!  ::)
