[QUOTE="puppet, post: 7467363, member: 25962"] I bought 130 round bales for £5 this year so pointless making any at home. Anything involving machinery will cost you and what will you produce? Grass is the easiest to maintain by just eating it. Buy some old ewes with lambs at foot each spring if you don't want a lambing. Rent some out, make enough hay/haylage for your own needs. Buy 20 native breed cows which will calf easily, synchronise and AI them to calve within your 2 weeks holiday and outwinter them. Mess up 5 acres each year and leave the rest for some store lambs rental. You either need fences or machinery and I would go for the fences. [/QUOTE]
