[QUOTE="unlacedgecko, post: 6085576, member: 19130"] Thanks for the tag. OP you are ideally placed to run a sheep enterprise integrated into arable cropping. You will need; A mobile handling system Large amount of electric fencing (Rappa is my preference due to speed) A good dog (or two) A quad to put up and take down the fencing will also help a lot. The ability to buy all the above without finance will help enormously in the uncertain times ahead. The key will be your interpersonal skills and your ability to forge solid relationshisr with your landowners. To get sheep on the ground without buying them, look at contract grazing other people's stock. But your relationship with landowners will be the absolute key. (Contract grazed sheep can be substituted for dairy heifers as TB shouldn't be an issue). [/QUOTE]
