Sustainable sheep and subsidies?

[Joeni]

Hi, I am a new ,member to TFF.

I always keep an eye on the site and have learned bits and pieces on different forums. I am doing a survey on sheep and performance recording for improving ewe efficiency and I know there are a lot of people on here that would have good views to share and would appreciate some input.

With or without Brexit there has always been a risk of subsidy removal from livestock farming. Therefore one must ask:
“Is sheep farming sustainable?” I’ve decided to explore this area and as part of my research, I would appreciate for as many U.K commercial sheep farmers/farm managers or anyone with experience working with breeding sheep systems to take a short time to express their views on the relationship between; ewe efficiency, performance recording and farm subsidies.

Definitely one of the best surveys I’ve done, grammar was good and questions weren’t ridiculous. Good on you and best of luck

Ps, welcome to the forum.

Survey responses went from 25 to 39 overnight

Done.
Agree with Al, a good survey that gives opportunity to qualify answers.
That's always my biggest negative about surveys - rarely does life fit into neat tick boxes.

Excellent and interesting survey. I hope you have enough replies to reach some meaningful conclusions

This survey is well drafted and I'm sure both of you as keen exponents of performance recording might have some valuable input
