Stiperstones Shepherding Trial
This report describes the results of a shepherding trial which took place on Stiperstones during the grazing seasons of 2021 and 2022. After first observing where the sheep and cattle naturally grazed, in the second year the shepherd actively moved the sheep to areas less grazed. Despite the very hot summer and drought of 2022 making the trial more challenging, this report sets out a number of other factors affecting the grazing patterns of the sheep on the Stiperstones.
