Tales From River Cottage: Land And Livestock (2006)

Having made his decision to stay in Dorset and continue the rural life, Hugh considers the big question facing the committed smallholder: how far are you prepared to go? You donï¾’t need much space for chickens, or even for pigs, but once youï¾’ve got a couple of acres, all kinds of possibilities open up. Itï¾’s all a question of how hard you are prepared to work. In the final programme, Hugh looks at pasture management, health care of your animals, breeding and slaughter: these are the ultimate test of the mettle of the smallholder ï¾— so are you ready for it?
