Well we are North Wiltshire /Berkshire enteringly 2 cottages are in Berkshire the main house in Wilshire. Hum how much input would we want we would be happy to invest in equipment and cattle one of the cottages could be available we would need to continue to have a significant say in what grazing is used when and how, I would want the day to day operations done but consulted when choices in management will affect care andwelfare as the non replacement young stock would be raised for rose veal in non covid times we have direct markets for this and our nanny cows that we would happily keep on and manage song side the horses. Tricky but we are fairly flexible.

Set it up, put the cows in and then set up a contract farming agreement with a capable herd manager to run it day to day.

Lots of options, thank you for your input. We will look at market opportunities then either contract farm or share farm it I think, though it looks like it will sit in the background until the equine unit is up and running just because of the time it deserves to have put into it. 750k is not a problem to invest but it would be if we waisted it we have a significant capital investment fund but once it's gone the whole business needs to stand on it own feet
