Integrating livestock is key to improving soil health and

profitability across our arable enterprises.

We run Lincoln Red suckler cows and Highlander and
New Zealand Romney ewes across perennial pasture on
the riverbank and former lines of reclamation but most
importantly they graze legume rich herbal leys within

the arable rotation.

Their grazing helps regenerate the land faster because
they add fertility and organic matter to the soils. 
Total Grazing with multiple daily moves behind electric
fencing achieves this. After each graze the land is then
rested for as long as possible. This avoids overgrazing
and results in strong plant roots which supercharge

regrowth. 

In late summer ewes and lambs move off the grass onto
catch and cover crops where they stay until spring. Our
cows are also outwintered, but on the permanent
pastures and salt marsh to protect the soils from

poaching.
