good evening everyone
long time reader of the forum first time poster so many responses and advice would be helpful
my thoughts earlier today in my lunch hour I was looking at farms for sale just out of curiousity and see many in Scotland which are over 400 hundred acres and are around 700k to 1 mil I understand that is a substantial amount of money but living in the southwest it is also a very large farm compared to what that would buy down here. so my point is if a young farmer with a large deposit through inheritance and savings (below 100k) be able to borrow and make a go at it through sucklers and sheep.
farms background
3-400 acres
average ground
say capacity for 100 cows and calves and 600 ewes
farmhouse and cottage so possibility of selling cottage for loan
person background
I'm 20
business owner
dedicated farmer
please respond and discuss as this is a serious posability and thought of mine
