Hi Gang;
This area is called Dyffryn Castell (Dufryn Castle in English) about 10 miles inland from Aberystwyth (aber-rist-with) in mid-Wales.
Typical bare hill land, poor wet acid soils, that only grows hardy strains of grass. The sheep will be brought down from the hills and lambed in the sheds.
When they do re-sow some pasture, the seed mixture will comprise of 26 pounds of mixed grasses & 2 pounds of white clover. They include 2 pounds of fodder rape to give some shelter to the grass seedlings as they emerge, and provide a tasty bite for the sheep on their first grazing of the new pasture.
To-day round bale silage is grown rather than hay - more chance of getting a good source of winter fodder than risking the hay getting spoiled by the frequent rain at this altitude.
Cheers David
