My first venture in farming was growing caponised cockerels for the Christmas trade, did well on feed borrowed from the farm! ?Kids had chickens here and used to sell eggs.
Made a huge margin over purchased feed.
Nanny and grandad bought the hens, I paid for all the feed and the money went in their bank accounts!
was wiped out in year three by Coccidiosis, there had been chickens on the land for a very long time.
next venture was Barley beef, that was more succesful at the age of 12 I was a beef farmer.
