Price on application !!! Lol Curious.....how much livestock are you rearing? Sounds like you are living my dream Not much mate, I keep 10 ewes and a ram, a couple of young cattle, a couple of pigs all the time until I think they are fat enough to kill, chickens, ducks, geese......you know, normal things. But it's more than enough to feed the 6 of us over the year. I'm not very good round gardening but will be trying to get the growing things but right this year......or rather the wife will! My own personal obsession is the grass in my fields and how to always have it growing to its fullest potential.......after all, that's what feeds us really. Walshie........you know anything is possible, as long as you have deep pockets ! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care how stupid it sounds, I've always wanted to be a farmer Our bungalow would make a great holiday rental, I am trying to persuade the missus in to it so we can move in land. Sounds great to be near the sea but were miles away from the other 3 coastlines. I'd rather be in the middle of the island personally, and we wouldn't have the problem of the swarms of 'visitors' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 48,494 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 None at all mate, like the rest of my life I just thought "f**k it" and piled in and I am learning as I go along. Been a few mistakes along the way and I'm sure there will be a few more but hey ho, that's life. Just ordered 10 male kid goats when they are born which I will rear on for a short period then kill the lot in one go, at €5 each that's cheap meat. Eventually though I want my own small herd of boer goats. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only makes us even better at fighting And with that extra arm you could give that bricklaying machine a run for its money ..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
