Hi from the Isle of Islay
« on: September 13, 2010, 01:40:49 pm »
This looks a very useful forum; hope I can pick up a lot of tips  ;D

I breed Highland Ponies on Islay and keep Lacaune milk sheep, Icelandic and Hebridean sheep, chickens and have just reared a few Bourbon Red Turkeys and Guinea Fowl.  We butcher our own sheep and Red Deer and I'm a real food nutter.

Hi and welcome from North Yorkshire.  :wave: Among other animals we have Bourbon Red turkeys too.  First time this year.  I love them already, even though they will all depart here in December...  We have had guinea fowl until recently but would like more next year.

'Fraid not. I just do bone broths, stews, roasts or pot roasts.  :dunce: with green veggies.  Very boring.

Hello Jane from wet, windy and thoroughly miserable Wales.   I'd love to visit the Scottish Isles - I bet its nice up there in the summer months (well, some of them at least, bit like Wales!!!).  Welcome to the site.
