[QUOTE="CornishLleyn, post: 3754028, member: 4776"] Yes, eminently possible to do. There's the legalities - you'll need to obtain a UK flock number for yourself, an SBI number from the Rural Payments Agency (even if you don't claim anything) and a holding (CPH) number for the land. None of that is arduous. Your field size would easily support the number you're talking about, all year round if your grass is good. I wouldn't bother buying a trailer, just get them delivered by a local farmer or haulier, you won't use it enough to justify the cost to start off with. A lot of local colleges do short courses in husbandry, it's well worth doing one, or make friends with a local sheep farmer and offer some help, you'll learn loads. You won't get rich, in fact you probably won't cover your costs for a long while, but you should have a lot of fun. Select your breed carefully. [/QUOTE]
