Farm help please

[marmite]

Thanks for reading.
I would like to know would a farmer have a variety of animals. Heard of cows, pigs, sheep, chickens ect or just cows and chickens. Pigs, no cows. I hope you understand the peratations that I have problems with. Its a new project I am working on with Sonic .Also would said farmer have corn and barley fields or just grass. The farm will be situated in the UK. I would like a name for the farmer, his wife is going to be called Lesley. No nudity allowed its for kids.

Thanks again from Marmite Sonic Scamp Spike and Stamp.

Hi Mymate,
Try watching "Shaun The Sheep"
They have a great little farm in the programme, might give you a few clues or ideas,,, cheers stupo.

That's easy, if it is a big farm, it will only have one kind of animal and maybe make some hay.
But if it is a smaller farm by a stream with a forrest close by, it will have some cows a couple of pigs (fed on some spare milk), of course a dozen hens, some geese (instead of a guard dog) and a few ducks on the pond.
It will have fields of barley and lovely hay meadows.
Oh and close by the farm house is the veg patch and a little orchard.

I think I got a bit carried away there

Thanks to both of you. Shetty you have just formed the basis of the farm. I am including a sheep dog for verious reasons . The forrest is intresting and I have many new ideas. Now the time of year will be spring time,and warm sunny evenings. Thanks again. Marmite and the boys.

I work on a medium sized farm, we have 95 cows (in calf), 95 calves/store cattle and 3 bulls, all graze on meadowland that is unsuitable for cropping or fodder crops sown behind cereal crops in the summer. We also grow sugar beet, potatoes, barley, wheat and oilseed rape so the cows are only a small but equally as important part of the farm. Its unusual these days for farms to have more than one type of livestock on them but it does still happen. I do know of one locally that has a dairy herd but also has a poultry business running as well away from the main site

Thankyou all. I have enough information to get on with. My imagination is now working overtime.Marmite.
