Hello all, we are looking to retire in a few years and spend our time running a smallholding. We have bought 9 acres of bare land and started fencing ect., got a few chickens and started veg. Planning to breed Boer goats, Tamworths and like to use a horse to farm the land. Thats the plan anyway!

Welcome to the forum - arrow

I think you're going to have to explain that one

I am retired now but unfortunately could only afford 1 acre as opposed to the new house with 10 acres I sold to get down to Central Scotland. Where are you? Good luck with your life plan.

Hi Arrow and welcome from cold and sunny Falkirk in central Scotland!

I know a few poeple who have Boer goats, but not many up here in Scotland. Good luck with your ventures.
