Mill
Farm
Total area of this Block: 82 Acres.
Mill Farm has Countryside Stewardship designation except for Freelands fields 0609, 1801 and Crutches Motel field 9317.
This block is best suited to sheep grazing because of the terrain having steep slopes. St. Leonard’s Well, Heifers Marsh, Brewers Marsh and Crutches Motel are the only fields suitable for cattle. There is the consideration of the ancient monuments at the top of Mill Farm to be taken into account as cattle may do damage. The soil on the slopes and at the top is free draining and remains dry in the winter but is prone to drying out quickly during a dry summer resulting in reduced grass growth.
Summer stocking rates of between 5 and 6 ewes plus lambs depending upon rainfall is the norm.
