I live in England's northern uplands with my family in an area of moorland ( used for shoots) and harsh winters.
We have chickens and a couple of pigs but would like to expand our livestock collection in our somewhat limited space.
We've considered turkeys (too aggresive) and guinea fowl (too noisy - according to the neighbours). Any ideas? All suggestions appreciated!
how do i choose new livestock??

Hi and welcome to the forum! I don't have any ideas for you but if you could give an indication of how much exactly is your limited space in terms of acres (or less) that might help people to give you advice.

Hello Markandal, have you thought about ducks or quail. They don't need too much space, or rabbits for their meat if you eat meat.
