Cattle would be less problem: Red Poll, Angus, Devon
Sheep:
Texel - worm tolerant
Perendale - worm resistant
German White Headed Marsh - Ian Ewen Street’s preferred breed
Animal Health always comes first. Don’t sacrifice an animal for organic principles. If an animal is sick and cannot be healed organically, don’t let it suffer just because you want to be 100 per cent organic - conventional treatments should be used then
Be prepared to have a lower stock rate and keep a sick animal paddock that has high herbal content
Pasture should contain a good herbal ley
Drench recipes are found in Grasp the Nettle
