[QUOTE="Bee+, post: 3753994, member: 68934"] Hi, I am interested in buying a 3.6 acre field near my house. I'm undecided whether to rent the land as sheep grazing or get more involved. I read that it is possible to buy recently weaned lambs, feed them up on the grass and sell them in the autumn. The field in well fenced but not subdivided. I'm happy to divide the field with fencing and will provide water and shelter. I work from home so can check the sheep daily. I'm prepared to spend some money on a sheep trailer and any other set up costs. Is it realistic for a novice like me to take on 5 or 10 sheep for the summer and then sell? If it goes well I'd like to eventually keep sheep all year and breed. Any comments or advice gratefully received. [/QUOTE]
