I have three years experience of running an organic sheep farm near Marlborough consisting of 180 Lleyn breeding ewes and 60 Castlemilk Moorit (plus flock replacements and followers), with responsibility for total flock care, forage and pasture management and estate upkeep. While running the flock I improved the lambing percentage from 0.5 to 0.7 (during three lambing seasons) and improved birth weights by effective nutritional management of the ewe pre-lambing and in early lactation and with the subsequent improvements in DLG. Foot rot was prolific within the flock when I took over, through the use of the FAI's 5 point plan and careful pasture management reduced the problem to a manageable 8%.The organic status of the farm, required strict compliance and meticulous record keeping to maintain its organic status, working within Soil Association requirements, which was my responsibility. I have managed a cattle enterprise of around 130 head of AAX from weaned caves to around 22 months
