RED BEARD Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 little bit of a nature reserve, just let the plot go wild. why do folk want to screw the last penny out of everything ? for the same reason people go to work........................they need the money (well that would be my reason) ,it makes me laugh that people think the countryside is there just for them to admire,farms are like a factory they need to be profitable to keep in business and to keep in good condition.

al4x Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 you just need the right yard it tends to have the better horses in, once you go to one with cobs and larger horses the owners seem to be in competition with their horses as to who has the larger backside.

Gamefarm Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I know of many game farms down here in Sussex which do just that on a similar sizes bit of land or smaller. You would need to convert the sheds/barns into the night housing for the pheasants/partridges and then go about sourcing pen sections to create day runs. You could incubate eggs yourself and rear birds from day olds to 7/8 weeks and sell them to local shoots at £3.50 upwards or you could buy in the day olds yourself and rear them to this age. The first couple of weeks they would want to be shut into the sheds at night with adequate heating by gas heaters or lamps and when hardy enough they can be left out at night to return to the shed as and when they please. Hmmmm.......... I must be doing something wrong somehow - it never seems to be that easy when do it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Ur best bet would be to speak to a local land agent who will know the area and will have a better idea wot demand there is for various things. Get approx incomes for seasonal grass let as well as the horsey side of things, but i'm guessing u would need some sort of stables/shelters for horses whereas for grazing as long as boundry fence ok ur all good. As for other ideas the more time and effort u are willing to spend the more return u SHOULD get, not always the case and esp if u already have a full time job. Most will have a intial outlay so ur commited for years afore u get a return, i would also same game farming or rearing any sort of livestock is never that easy, the good gamefarmers make it look easy, but there is a lot going on behind scences keeping birds healthy and disease free and even more so year after year.

CharlieT Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Gamefarm Hmmmm.......... I must be doing something wrong somehow - it never seems to be that easy when do it!!! I knew it was easy and money for old rope but did not realise it was quite that easy. I intend to re negotiate with my supplier and offer him £1.05 a poult !! But then I thought, perhaps that's why the poster calls himself Wannabe-keeper, reality is a little different Edited April 27, 2013 by CharlieT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 little bit of a nature reserve, just let the plot go wild. why do folk want to screw the last penny out of everything ? What kind of idealistic world do you live in? Unfortunately it's rather hard to function without money in this day and age, unless you live in a cave and buy things with groats?

Dunteige Mallard Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi, I was in the same situation as yourself, I diversified from farming to operating an all driven duck shoot on the farm, It was relatively easy to get going and mallard are the easiest of all game birds to rear, I started three years ago, with 50 birds for a bit of fun to shoot among friends I now have 500 bids sold for shooting this season and we are not into June yet. Just another option for you which works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Somewhere not far from you will be a group of Vietnamese people willing to pay large cash sums to grow their crops on or under (in containers) your land Job jobbed. Is there a lamp post nearby they can get eleccy from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Raves held in the sheds; you could make faaaasannnds from all the grufty tree huggers turning up and getting their third eye squeegeed clean with horse tranquilisers and plant food (all the rage these days). You wouldn't neccesarily need to invest anything in the delapadated sheds, just bung 'em a key and let them get on with it. If you want to make extra on the side sell some glow sticks and bottled tap water. Job doubled jobbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
