- If you have a lawn, consider if you have space for livestock, even just a sheep or a mobile rabbit hutch if not anything larger.
- If you have some pasture, investigate where you could get an animal or animals you are interested in.
- Mob graze any animals you rear.
- If you don’t have pasture, seek out currently unused grassland in the area and ask for permission to graze your animals there. This can be a field an elderly neighbor isn’t using anymore or a large back garden. Community space might be available if you ask your town council.
