[QUOTE="StormurShepherd, post: 7506623, member: 49890"] Just checking in and still making my way through the thread. We've just about finished moving house and I'm now on the hunt for land to rent. Viewed a few places already, not much acreage compared to most here but I need to start somewhere. At one place I have option of 3.7 acres split into 2ac and 1.7 ac sections and split by a public footpath. No fences between footpath and land and the boundary fencing is iffy too. I still liked it and the landowner are in similar mindset of holistic management, permaculture and whatnot, but now after a day or so of thinking the footpath scares me somehow. Viewed another place last night,1 x 4.0 ac field, 1x 3.0ac in random shape right next door and option of a further 9.0 on a hilly section about 2 mins drive across the road. This would mean lots of land to grow into and get to grips with land management. Fencing is ok and has water access. Will be starting out with sheep as I've worked with them in the past and possibly running chicken followers depending on how I get on with things. My main concern now is working out the grazing and how to divide it all up ensuring that each section of grass would get the necessary rest. Just bought The Art and Science of Grazing by Sarah Flack and I hope that'll teach me some before I need to decide on what. [/QUOTE]
