[QUOTE="Lazy-Farmer, post: 7465015, member: 143591"] I’m only 38 myself so keen to do it myself. Looking to set it up as a retirement business. I have neighbours that would be keen to take it on but it’s not worth it. The rent for a year works out to less than the subsidies and after a few years all the fences need done as they don’t maintain thinkings like I do myself. Plus if I get beasts on it they make a lot of mess and damage any fences that aren’t electric. About half have been upgraded and have hot top wires but not done everything yet. I would think about stock myself as a buy graze for a bit then sell method. Fattening lambs or beasts for a while. I grew up with stock and although I enjoy it I’d prefer to be tractor based. I may already be doing the best I can with what I have. Just think it’s worth a bit of brain storming after last year. [/QUOTE]
