  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Implications of Agri-Environment Schemes on Hefting in Northern England
    Case Study 3 Implications of Agri-environment Schemes on Hefting in Northern England This case study demonstrates the implications of agri-environmental schemes in the Lake District National Park. This farm is subject of an ESA (Environmentally Sensitive Area) agreement. The farm lies at the South Eastern end of Buttermere lake in the Cumbrian Mountains. This is a very hard fell farm in the heart of rough fell country, with sheer rock face and scree slopes and much inaccessible land. The family has farmed this farm since 1932 when the present farmer’s grandfather took the farm, along with its hefted Herdwick flock, as a tenant. The farm was bought, complete with the sheep in 1963. The bloodlines of the present flock have been hefted here for as long as anyone can remember. A hard fell farm The farmstead lies at around 100m above sea level with fell land rising to over 800m. There are 20ha (50 acres) of in-bye land on the farm, and another 25ha (62 acres) a few miles away. The rest of the farm is harsh rough grazing including 365ha (900 acres) of intake and 1944ha (4,800acres) of open fell. The farm now runs two and a half thousand sheep including both Swaledales and Herdwicks. The farmer states that the Herdwicks are tougher than the Swaledales, producing three crops of lambs to the Swaledale’s two. At present there are 800 ewes out on the fell. Ewes are not tupped until their third year. Case Study 3 Due to the ESA stocking restriction ewe hoggs and gimmer shearlings are sent away to grass keep for their first two winters, from 1 st November to 1 st April.

    Historic, archived document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY.—CIRCULAR NO. 104. A D. MELVIN, CHIEF OF BUREAU. WELSH BLACK CATTLK.' By JOHN ROBERTS, Of the Editorial Office, Bureau of Animal Industry. INTRODUCTION. The Welsh breed of cattle is considered a very valuable one in Great Britain. The cows are good milkers, but the breed is chiefly famous for its feeding qualities and the admitted excellence of the carcass, the latter being a prime favorite with English butchers. If we grant that the modern beef animal should be considered mainly from the point of view of economy in production, the above characteristics of the Welsh breed seem to entitle it to consideration. Youatt, writing of Welsh cattle seventy years ago, said: Great Britain does not afford a more useful animal. * * * They combine to a considerable degree, and as far, perhaps, as they can be combined, the two opposite qualities of being very fair milkers with a propensity to fatten. The meat is generally beautifully marbled. It is equal to that of the Scotch cattle, and some epicures prefer it. They thrive in every situation. They will live where others starve, and they will rapidly outstrip most others when they have plenty of good pasture. * * * Great numbers of them are brought to the London market. They stand their journey well and find a ready sale, for they rarely disappoint the butcher, but on the contrary prove better than appearance and touch indicate. The above description seems to apply equally well to the present day.

Concluding thoughts 27 Acknowledgements 30 My background 31 Updated and revised during 2017 Front cover picture showing Glen Wilkinson, Tilberthwaite gathering Herdwick sheep on the fell. Copyright Lancashire Life. 2 Forward These notes are my thoughts on fell sheep farming in the Lake District written following my retirement in 2014, perhaps a therapeutic exercise reflecting on many happy years of working as a ‘Ministry’ (of Agriculture) adviser with sheep farmers. Basically, I am concerned for the future of traditional fell sheep farming because a number of factors are working together to undermine the farming system and way of life. Perhaps time will reveal that my concern was unfounded because the hill farming sector has been able to withstand changes over hundreds of years. I have no doubt that the in-bye and most of the intakes will always be farmed but what will happen on the high fells? Will there be a sufficient number of farmers willing and able to shepherd these areas to maintain the practice of traditional fell sheep farming? Does it matter? 3 1.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.
