Conservation grazing is livestock grazing that meets nature conservation objectives and includes everything from extensive, low-intervention grazing schemes meeting welfare needs of livestock while allowing natural processes to occur to grazing on improved grassland managed to optimize sward structure for invertebrates, small mammals and birds.
Our sheep are perfect for all weather conditions and self shedding to reduce maintenance and require no supplementary feeding. Conservation grazing sheep in East Anglia are ideal for the following grassland:
• Infertile, dry sites – prone to drought
• Large sites with varied topography
• Small sites – where other animals are inappropriate
• Botanically important sites (where botanical importance outweighs
invertebrate)
• Easily supervised sites – tethered, continuous but rotational grazing
