What to do?

    Hi, I've inherited 35 acres and am looking for some advice on what to do with it. I know a bit about farming but I'm complete novice on some things.
    I know I can plant it and that would be that but I'm looking for a change of lifestyle and would prefer to put some cattle on it. Was thinking of small breeds like Dexter. How much stock could I have on the 35 acres to allow for grazing + silage if I overwinter? Would I need a slotted house for them? Would appreciate any ideas people have on my options?

    Thanks
    Joe

    first question do you need to make money out of it or is that optional

    Would like to be making some money. I know that might not be easy on such a small place but as long as I'm not working for nothing that's ok.

    Plenty of good sound farmers on here too!

    OP: There has been a few very similar threads to this not so long ago, have a good read and you will pick up a few pointers I'm sure.

    Give us a bit more detail of your set-up, land type, and what type of farming interests you.
    There is a lot of experience on here and I'm sure if you can think of the questions, someone here will have the answers! (within reason;))
