No I havn't started keeping sheep but I am very curious about something I have seen while out walking at Lansdown near Bath
we have gone on this walk quite often in the past year and when I saw fields of brassica's in the autumn I thought they were perhaps rape growing for next spring however yesterday we were surprised to see big flocks of sheep in these fields eating the brassica looking plants
we are townies trying to understand what goes on in the countyside does anyone
know what is going on?

farmers also use stubble turnips as fodder for pigs in this part of the country.
