    Career options for the ageing shepherd

    Looking to the future post 55- 60, I can't see me continue to manage as a contract shepherd or employed shepherd. No plans or wishes to retire but what options will there be? Work beyond farming seems alien but I'm not naive to think the body will want to fight sheep into retirement. Ideas thanks

    For grazing in situ on a 10 acre rectangle feild does it want to be drilled for short rows or long rows. Short rows means less length of elect fence to move every couple of days but will need a couple of rows or long rows and just one row? Cheers
