Feck, when did I start getting clumped together with PeteWelcome aboard.
You'll find quite a few folk on here a bit too "mainstream" for you but there are plenty who'll engage with you, @Blaithin and @Kiwi Pete for starters.

Just a small flock of sheep, as we run about 130 store cattle and 450 store lambs over the summer, and then about the same number of hoggs/winter stores while the cattle are housed.
My wife and I both work off-farm, a bit of this and a bit of that
I can blabber on for pages, everyone is sick of me but far too nice to say so
