Hi backinwellies, thanks for the kind offer. I'd love to come and visit if that's ok? I'll pm you once everything has calmed down with the baby
Thanks for the info on the smallholders group too, I've sent a join request
Thanks for your advice harmony. I've spoken to the neighbours who currently graze the fields, they're very helpful. They're used to a bit bigger scale than I'm thinking but helping me none the less. I'm not charging them but they'll be giving me some meat at the end of the year. To be honest, I think they're busy enough with their own place!
I think I'll just watch the fields this winter and see how wet they get, which areas are the worse affected and which areas stay dry etc. There are some old drainage ditches that maybe need sorting out etc.
