[QUOTE="exmoor dave, post: 2491132, member: 623"] Just bear in mind that if you aren't allowed to improve that 145acs- lime fert etc, you won't be able to actually keep a huge amount of stock on the 720acs grazing. 145ac unimproved is the limiting factor because they have to come on to that to lamb and stay there for a certain time after lambing. It's also likely that the stock will have to be off the 720acs at other times of the year if the NT insist on variable stocking density through out the year. They will also have to be tupped on either the hill or the 145ac so I would have thought a lambing percentage of 120-130% would be about tops. Lots of twin baring ewes on hill grazing would be a problem. There will be a huge number of conditions in the tenancy. They tried to let a rather good 500ac farm in Cornwall with loads of conditions.......... The farm ended up split between neighbours and house let separately. [/QUOTE]
