English Nature Research Report
3.2 Grazing animals used in projects 3.2.1 Species of gradng animals Some sites utilised more than one species of grazing animals so the results in Table 5 are based on 182 records. The majority of sites used sheep and/or cattle and these species were used on an almost equal number of sites, Ponies were also widely used but horses and goats were used infrequently and pigs were used on just 2 sites. No other species of grazing livestock was recorded (a mention of rabbits was taken to refer to wild populations). Table 5.

I wonder how much money is being spent on bureaucracy in Hope everyone has had a great time over the the wool research, development and promotion sectors? holiday season. The weather was great here There seem to be several companies with great mission in the south over the summer and everyone statements but is anything much actually happening out seemed to be having lots of fun. there? NZ Merino seems to be achieving the most in both Lambs and ewes are bringing record prices this season advertising their product and developing new uses. which is very pleasing. However the same old fiddle plays Some of the Companies and their mission statements are: - the same old tune to try and bring prices down such as the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand, “To uncertainty of the Brexit deal, Trump, and the Chinese promote, encourage and fund scientific or industry research economy which shows how we can be exposed so quickly. and information transfer that relates to the post harvest wool Hopefully common sense will prevail and our prices stay up industry” Several projects on going from 2013 – results?? at a reasonable level. Wool Industry Research Ltd – a subsidiary of the above “Focus on investment in research which increases the value It is really disappointing to see our farm training institutes and competiveness of commercial NZ wool based activity facing difficult times. -

When will (ie: thistle clearance) no muck spreading and no we see any sheep shown this year? I have not hardly anything outdoors except stock checking – heard the forecast for next week but hope all is fly strike, head dermatitis (caused by thistle well for the Great Yorkshire. pricks I reckon, but easily treated with surgical swab type fluid from the chemists), wormy ends Since our last newsletter, members Jill and Paul etc. “Why do we bother?” I asked my better half have had their wedding and are presently after shearing. “I didn’t know you did!” she honeymooning in Canada. Congratulations and quickly quipped back. all the best for your futures. Anyway, looking forward to the next round of The only show I think that has braved the weather shows, if any are still likely to carry on, with was the Royal Norfolk. Chareen and Dennis took nearly all having been cancelled thus far but full the plunge and travelled down not knowing what marks to the all female cast at the Royal Norfolk to expect and came home with numerous with our best judge I reckon Tessa Wigham trophies. -

Please be sure not to delete any of the foregoing text when making a copy. For Lesley THE TIDE MILL It is not by chance that the word "grinding" is associated with hardship and poverty. Among the curses heaped by God on Adam, in the third chapter of Genesis, is this, the most terrible of all: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground". Thus were we condemned, in the Garden of Eden, to grind corn. The quern-stone is our eternal tyrant. No sooner is one harvest made into flour than we must sow another, all the years of our lives.
