[QUOTE="Guleesh, post: 6965234, member: 147187"] Always good to get away from the place even if just for a few hours, I think you're right to pursue less work and time commitments, we're always conscious to try not create chores for ourselves and to record the hours we spend working at sheep. There's somebody I know who has probably enough ground to go more full time with livestock and make a go of the place, but wisely decided to keep it as a hobby as they didn't want the struggle of trying to make profit to overshadow and spoil the enjoyment they got from keeping stock. I know for myself all too well how this can happen. I always imagine cows being more work than sheep tbh -especially in winter, but all I know is folk wading around in knee deep mud putting bales out to cold, wet muddy cows, and still doing so until middle of may, but as you say 'the right cattle' could work better and definitely have more power to transform pasture that the sheep somewhat lack. Every place is different, and you're the one who's got to do the job so you're the one best placed to make the decisions. [/QUOTE]
