Early 90's part of it,and late 90's rest of it..some fields were height of bonnet in brambles!! Ive been improveing 50ac of it since i took over 5 years ago,and this year it will be good enuf to cut for silage..been putting heifers on the block along the cliff for last 2 winters,and ponys in summer,made the job alot easyer....Few more years and whole farm should be back in a half decent state..

Whilst the oldest girl on the farm (Lady) looked on. The colostrum was that thick I decided to take a few pics while it slithered down the tube
