I have managed Romneys on an extensive system lambing outdoors. I have also managed Scottish blackface ewes extensively on the hill.
I have managed ewes on a paddock grazing system on the lowlands and designed and built a rotational grazing system over an entire farm. This enabled higher stocking density and greater forage usage on the farm. It also extended the grazing season.
