    Hi all.

    I plan to get some sheep in the new year and was wondering if there are any grants available for things like fencing, etc. I have about 2 acres.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    The current scheme requires the applicant to have at least 5 hectares and between 50 and 1500 ewes. That rules you out. Sorry but best of luck anyway.
