I am doing some research into animal husbandry issues specific to conservation grazing and am particularly interested in hearing from farmers and graziers on this subject.  I am concentrating on lowland grassland – calcareous (chalk/limestone), acid, neutral, meadows (aftermath grazing), and improved grassland – and would be interested to hear your experiences of livestock management, animal welfare, and/or human health and safety issues specifically related to the management of one or more of these habitats.  All information will be treated in confidence (unless, of course, you post it on here, in which case anyone can see it!).
