Yet Another New One

[SamBee]

Hello, my name is Sam.

I'm 18 and in my final year of college at the moment.
I study Animal Management, and this is where my fascination with self-sufficiency began. I love working with the animals at college, the livestock that is as we have exotic animals and small mammals which I don't much see the point of.
Some of the animals we have at college are Sussex mixes and Jacob sheep, Pygmy and a Brittish breed of goat I forgot the name of, Berkshire, Gloucester Old Spots & Kune Kune Pigs, Poland, Orpington & Andalusian chickens, Emus, Rheas, Llamas and some Dexter Cattle.
I am not sure what it is I want to do once I leave college, but I'm looking for inspiration.

I work at Marks & Spencer, who until recently, I did not realise were doing so much to be good.

I live in South Bucks, East Berks and plan to move in with my partner in Bournemouth in the summer.
It is in Bournemouth we have 6 rabbits + and some chickens. I am beginning to prepare the garden for self sufficiency so when i move down it will be in full swing. A vegetable patch has already been prepared by my partners friend a horticulturist and he has a cherry and pear tree in the garden already.

I am more than happy to hear some tips about how to ease into it, infact this is the reason I'm here, to further my knowledge using your help.

Thank You!

This is something I really want to do, and by the time I'm aged I hope to be well versed in the area :)

A lot of us are 'aged' and I'm sorry to say we're still learning! But having fun along the way. Welcome!
