Hi madcat.  You've come to a good place!
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Oh!  Well hello again northwich  :wave: - I'm castlemilk over there!   I don't always read the intros on here, there are a lot and I spend too much time at the 'puter as it is - but the username 'madcat' intrigued me! :D

I'm not sure now is the very best time to start reading about sheep here on TAS  :thinking: - it's lambing time so there are some nice pics, but there are also quite a few heart-rending stories  :'(

I expect Fleecewife will pop by soon enough; she's one of the two who got me into spinning (the other's jaykay, she'll drop in too somewhen.)  Fleecewife has Hebs, Soays and Shetlands; jaykay has Shetlands.  There are other spinning sheepkeepers too - the other Sally - Bionic - is offline at the mo, but she keeps Ryelands.  Hopefully some of the others will drop in and tell you something about their sheep and spinning exploits too.
