[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 4887604, member: 441"] Thanks for all the replies so far - we're taking the various viewpoints on board. Personally, I was enrolled to do a degree at Seale Hayne but once I started working with my year's practical, there was no way I was going back studying. I don't regret not going, though I do wish I'd spent some time working abroad (and not just tractor driving!) But I worked for some good farmers in various guises and believe that gave me a good standing. Also worked closely with my vet in terms of trial work etc right from the start of keeping my own stock. Farming skipped a generation in my family so I didn't have any "coming home" option. Daughter has always taken a keen interest at home and has reared her own calves, has a small free range laying flock, and now also has a couple of sows and 2 in calf heifers. In her shoes I would probably want to stay home and develop my business and job around locally. But I would like to encourage her to look further afield to gain wider experience for a bit in some way. [/QUOTE]
