Hello.
I have lurked on the forum for a few weeks reading posts and learning a lot, thank you.
I have taken over a small flock of 70 suffolk ewes and lambs when the tenant farmer who occupied a 12 acre piece of my land died.
Instead of watching the sheep across the hedge which I have done for 15 years I now have to do some work!!!
I have been advised that I should cut the thorn hedge which is about 20 foot (6m) high and overhangs into the field by about 3 or 4 foot (1m) because the overhang can cause the ground to have added problems, mites, tites and bugs it was described to me.
I would rather not do the cutting but if the overhang does cause added problems and then extra vet bills I would have no choice but to do so.
I would welcome your advice on the matter.
Richard
