    Sheep farmers should rear beef

    Says Defra secretary with no background in farming

    Sheep farmers 'can rear beef' in no-deal Brexit – Eustice - Farmers Weekly

    Defra secretary George Eustice is under fire after suggesting UK sheep and dairy producers could easily adapt to a no-deal Brexit.
    Maybe fisherpeople can start rearing cattle as well?

        I can see that putting cattle on a hill farm will work wonders.

          I saw that story too. I think he's missing the obvious that the type of land sheep are reared on is not always suitable for cattle. I've lived in the countryside for 5 years now ..... I'm an expert*

            I was going to say something similar, I do remember this from my school days that cattle and sheep do not graze the same hence why there are sheep on the Welsh hills etc etc. I am surprised at DEFRA being so ill informed.

                I thought that was our resident angry racist taking the piss, but it's actually a real BBC word.

                  They can't go downhill (or is that a myth?)

                    They can but due to the way their necks are set up, it's harder work for them and they have to go slower
