Half the struggle is figuring out where to buy stuff.  Any recommended Iberian sources for:

Bareroot tree/shrub/hedging stock
Cattle/hog panels
blood/bone meal
Perennial plugs/starts for flowers or veg
galvanized stock tanks or similar

If you´ve discovered a useful source, or are looking for something else, add on.

Liquid shampoo is very complicated. (see http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com.es/p/hair-care.html)

Liquid soap is also trickier that solid bar soap, but there are various ways to go about it.

Two sources for further research:

Have fun!

My impression is that dwarf goats in Spain are more of a conversation piece than a practical addition to a project. From what I´ve read, Nigerians have to be carefully bred to be dairy producers, and even then you have to be careful of small teats and tiny orifices. I´ve never seen anything advertised over here with that purpose, so maybe they´re just lawn mowers.

Is there a regional rare breed you might try? Biodiversity and all that.

It´s still early days for us, so I can´t help on your practical livestock questions, sorry. I look from time to time on segundamano.es, just to see what´s on offer. Seems like importing live animals from elsewhere would be a paperwork nightmare.

Good luck!
