For new member to introduce themselves, where your from, what you do etc. (If you want to of course!)

Hi I'm Greg,
My parents and I got into farming about a year ago and it's going really well. We have a small farm in the heartland of Scotland with about 100 acres.

Was wondering if someone could help, I'm trying to find out about fence and livestock rules, any help would be great!

Thanks

Hi Greg, welcome along!

What specifically are you wanting to know about? As you may have gathered, there is a wealth of knowledge here, all you need to do is ask.

Pop along to the livestock section and they'll probably be able to help

Hello, anybody there?................. After lurking in the bushes for a while, decided to take the plunge and joined TFF a couple of months ago.

About 25 years ago an opportunity came up for us to buy some acres here in Cheshire, so we jumped in with both feet :eek: but after the dust had settled we though now what do we do???????? My husband has his own business, so the ‘farming’ was left to me. Only having ever worked in offices previously and never having been up close or really looked at a sheep or any other animal before, you could say I’ve been on a big learning curve ever since :D. Luckily a friend of ours has helped me enormously over the years and even with the ups and downs, I wouldn’t change my life for the world, I just love it.:love:

Welcome, to farming AND to TFF. (y)

You'll find all life on here, good advice, strange characters and things to make you smile, laugh or scratch your head. :eek:

Venture into "off topic" at your peril (but there's lots of fun there).

Thanks for your welcome. I have read the banter between some of the strange characters on here and it sure does bring a smile to your face on a grey day(y) Dare I say I've had a sneaky peek on Off Topic as well........;)
