I may have an chance of obtaining some farmland with the view of putting down some pheasant and have a small working syndicate for next season. I am looking at what the expected up front costs could be. Buying poults, feeders, feed etc. There are a number of "wild" pheasant already in the area, mostly have come from the neighbouring farms who I know have some birds put down by a local estate.
As yet I dont know how many local people may be interested and what would be an expected costs for the individual as well as assisting with the feeding etc.
There is a good mix of grass fields for sheep grazing and a number of wheat & barley crops along with a few rough drainage gutters with a mix of trees & whins. There are also a number of ponds & splashes.
Any advice would be grateful.
Cheers,
BBL
