    How big are you looking to become,would 5 and half acres not hold near 20-30 ewes with out renting?

    I like the Hampshire downs myself,nice handy lambed.

    That they are.I'd like to be part time farmer and do my day job part time too so would like to be making only handy bit from each but farming would have to warrant the time put into it.
