[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2420377, member: 25851"] No 2 son was in a short time ago. He's just had the strimmer/brush cutter repaired so will have to find some time to get the grass and briar roses cut down. I told him he should just keep a sheep or a goat in the garden to do that for him. He didn't like the idea of yet another animal in the household, so doesn't want to do that. But it got me thinking - he could keep a sheep for about 18 months and then get it slaughtered to provide lamb for the freezer (Lewis lamb is always about 18 months old due to small size). But I have a feeling that the family doesn't like lamb anyway. But maybe I could keep a lamb in their garden for 18 months. I do like lamb. And I have recently discovered that for the last 3 years, the abattoir in Stornoway has been operating for 5 months of the year (Aug to Dec). It's a thought. Must run it past him. Or perhaps I could buy an alpaca for Em. They seem to do quite well here. But it would probably require a companion. And I don't think they come very cheap. [/QUOTE]
