Nope, im all for golf course, better than stitching some young buck up for a life of peasantry, he would earn more as a green keeper.
And if the farmer was a green keeper 25k plus pension plus holidays plus every other benefit of been employed other than self employed with little responsibility, get the golf course built think of all the other employment as well.Assuming you get 1 lamb a ewe reared and take off say 60 head for replacements and sell 420 = £25200 @ £60/ head, + £2500 in cull ewe sales means you will have a total income of £27/28K before you take off all feed/ med cost etc..
It will only stack up if the farm is getting a lot of subs and the tenant gets to keep these subs and they don't go to the NT in lieu of rent.
Are you going to keep 3.5 ewes an acre there? Especially since they want the best bits grazed less, and the poorer bits grazed more.Assuming you get 1 lamb a ewe reared and take off say 60 head for replacements and sell 420 = £25200 @ £60/ head, + £2500 in cull ewe sales means you will have a total income of £27/28K before you take off all feed/ med cost etc..

I thought they said 145 acres ??? the green keeper would probably get a new modern insulated home, not a cave.Total of 900 acres.
One thing to take into account you will be getting a rent free house which is worth 7k a year alone ( more really for the location )
No house rent no house mortgage great eh, as all the herds up here have found out its great till you get to 65 and own fek all and have to live in a cave or a council flat.Total of 900 acres.
