[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7548085, member: 699"] You are probably correct in that more contractors will be used. In this area though they are not plentiful because there are not the young entrepreneurs who have small flocks of their own and are looking to get more income. I would guess that self employed labour charges in your area are significantly lower than in the south east. Local farmers here are selling breeding sheep as they are ageing and getting fed up with looking after sheep. It is not so much the spikes as the day to day drudgery! There may be opportunities on some of these farms as there are areas which cannot be arable and will still need the livestock. This year could be the best one to get of sheep!! [/QUOTE]
