Probably better than the tilapia I was eating. Yuck. Mud with bones in.
We've had weevils (at least, that's what I assume they were) in flour here...
That's probably the reason the game lodges keep the lighting down!
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Nightjar saying something like:
What a bind.

Oh, you get used to it. After a while, cow milk tastes insipid.
don't think so.
Local landowner does both.
He snares foxes and dispatches them with a 12 bore through the back of the head.
He also allows the local horsey set to rush around chasing them as well.
With dogs too. The law seems to have had zero effect. Oh I expect someone has trailed a dead fox for the hounds to follow, but if they break off and chase a live one, what can one do? :-)
There are almost no police within miles, and certainly none with the time or inclination to enforce a law none of them believe in anyway.
As long as some anti-hunting mob don't turn up, who gives a shit? everyone's lost chickens and pheasant chicks, and that's lost money, and a lot of inhumane killing by foxes.
I told em to say that they were all pagans, and hunting foxes was part of their culture, and if Jews and Muslims get away with cutting animals throats to make meat, then they should say that chasing foxes with dogs is part of their cultural and religious heritage..too..
Anyway, the racist government is now out of office, so that one will get quietly repealed.
No license is required for livestock (in England and Wales). You do need a CPH (county parish holding) number which you can get with even minimal land. To keep certain types of livestock you also need a herd number for that type of stock - so for pigs you need a pig herd number.
These are not licenses and there is no test or charge to get them.
As other posters have said there may be covenants against certain types of stock and/or you may end up causing a nuisance.
Class warfare. Didn't you realise?

Yes, I just wondered who else did.
OK but do you need a licence?
Yup. of sorts. foot and mouth etc. They want to know who keeps what.
You must have a holding number for the species of livestock you intend to keep.
There are then many laws governing aspects of keeping them: transportation (you do need a licence for this and, if over a certain distance, a special certificate for the transporter); paper work that you are obliged to keep; ear tagging; etc.

After 3 years of semi-retirement I am out of touch. The last government introduced fresh rules every year or so. Passports for cattle, ear tags for sheep, roaming inspectors for movement records, Blue Tongue compulsory vaccination, restrictions on GM products in feed, battery hen cage sizes, farrowing crate restrictions, TB routine testing and probably more I have forgotten.
Mostly these were brought in to combat disease outbreaks or as requirements from the EU. Unsurprisingly, DEFRA gold plated the implementation.
In addition there are voluntary industry accreditation schemes which make holding and particularly selling livestock a lot harder.
As others have said, self sufficiency is a very ambitious target. I would say, having made a living from a small family farm for 25 years, don't give up the day job:-)
