The beef cattle continue to graze tall pastures, storing water and building soil carbon levels.

The farm slopes to the river and this area is wet in winter.

50 willow will thrive, dry the area to a degree, make wildlife habitat and cut fodder for cattle.

Historic drainage had failed. It would be possible to drain the area, but at a high £ cost. This = a better return.

Restoration beef.

Feeding hay on spots where I cut bracken in summer does two things:

1. Bracken roots run just below and parallel to the surface; hooves crush them

2. Any hay and poo left behind will be broken down into soil by earthworms.

The aim is wood pasture.
