By Magnus Bennett & Frankie AllanResidents in Glasgow housing estates could soon be hearing the sound of mooing cows and clucking hens outside their homes.

"You used to be able to make a beef sausage quite cheaply. Now, you can't because the price of a bag of rusks has gone up by over 40%, and the price of seasoning has gone up by 35% to 40%.Gary spent thousands of pounds restoring an old butcher's shop van

He plans to keep it going, at least until his lease runs out in just over a year's time.
