Hi, been reading the posts for a while and enjoying other people's experiences, thanks.

I'm in North Pembrokeshire, in the Preseli Hills, about 600' up and North facing. We have about 35 acres, nominally we also have mountain grazing but we don't use it. currently, we rent about 13 acres out to a neighbour and make hay on some of the fields left and graze the rest with 13 or so ewes and lambs and 2 horses and a pony. We don't use any fertilizer and limit our drug use as much as possible. Been here 22 years so thoroughly "hefted" and neighbours no longer waiting to see if we'll last.

The ewes are a complete mixture, some pure Lleyn, some Lleyn x Wiltshire/WlitshirexKerry/WhiltshirexSuffolk and some Lleyn x Suffolk.

I produce nearly all our vegetable requirements for the year. I also work 4 days a week!
