Hey, just discovered this site .... must be fate as hoping to make my dream of owning a small LSB a reality within a year or so. Doing lots of research in the meantime!! Currently a townie ex-pat with 2 ex-farm dogs who would love a bit of land to have a couple of horses. And maybe another dog. Or two...!!
Hi there - welcome aboard - we are new to all this too and picking up info from "old" timers is so valuable - we are ex-pats to - where are you?
12 acres - 2 Jersey cross calves - George and Mildred -going on 50 mixed sheep and lambs - teenagers and toddlers - and our Girls all laying well when we can find the eggs!!!!:cool:
Hi, I'm in Wellington and looking at the Kapiti coast and Wairarapa. Ideally I'd like to be closer to Wellington but way out of my budget . I lived in a semi-rural village in the UK for 8 years so I've experienced that lifestyle (and the commuting!). My goal is to have a couple of horses and maybe some sheep too. It will just be me so I need to be realistic about what I can manage on my own - I think that will be quite a challenge!
