A description is given of the farm, soil type, stock numbers, etc., together with an account of the management policy followed. The various methods available for providing feed for periods of insufficient growth, and the reasons for a change from the traditional methods to an all-grass system for wintering ewes, are stated. An analysis is given of the advantages and disadvantages of such a system, together with the methods of easing its planning and adoption. Reasons are given for a small area of swedes or choumoellier still being grown for wintering the ewe hoggets, rather than the complete adoption of an all-grass wintering for all stock. Reference is made to peat swamp development and the use of Roundup (glyphosate) in cutty-grass control.
