[QUOTE="Big Ambitions, post: 7430200, member: 156289"] Geography- South east Scotland Budget - I’ve got a small but growing budget. I’m prepared to heavily invest if needed, but will also by trying to keep my costs to a minimum Experience - I’ve managed 500 ewes and 150 hoggs (outdoor lambing), plus my own small flock for 2 years Age - yes, I’m in my 20s, so I very much hope I’ve got 10 years fitness. I regularly go to the gym (in normal times) to keep active and fit Time - I’ve got no other real commitments, no family at the moment, a small side business which hasn’t been making any money for the past year due to covid, so I will be winding it up at some point. In terms of work I have a stable job at the moment, looking to be continuing with that, I’m able to reduce my hours as time goes on. Thank you for all your comments, I’m very driven, but also not cocky. That’s why I’m looking at the Lleyn breed, my original plan was to do some crossing maternal ewes, but if worst came to worst and I had to sell up. Lleyn is a well known breed and would sell a lot easier than maternal mongrels as they would possibly be a few years down the line [/QUOTE]
