Farm Manager Rhodri Owen, and James Holloway, detailed the proposed milking sheep enterprise. With 200 Lleyn ewes mated by laproscopic AI in the autumn and the aim of buying-in 100 Assaf ewes, the flock, when established, will be milked twice a day in a 24/48 De Laval parlour. Dr Prysor Williams and PhD student Joe Jones explained about the research work being carried out comparing mob grazing with continuous stocking. The farm tour was followed by a hog roast.
