Re: Isolation and Loneliness in the Farming Community

At what point did I suggest a personal affront.

This thread is about a Group. A group set up to help people.

It is for UK members only.

Sad Farewell to Woodmagic Petrel Ex91

I've had to say a very sad farewell to Woodmagic Petrel Ex91 this week, crying as I type!!! The first ever excellent Dexter cow in the UK. Stunning, clever, and brilliant fun to own, I miss her already! Bred by the great Beryl Rutherford, who rather famously told me.."Yes Stephanie I know you l...
