Some people agree with my idea about sheep, some obviously don't, and that is absolutely fine.
However I am allowed to state an opinion even if it goes against the majority views.
Sheep are vital to maintaining our countryside, and we would be in a worse state without them.
So please support our farmers and buy British. |

There is substantial data that growing plants is better and more ecological than growing meat
And why do some people think British , subsidised farmers deserve our money more than any other human who chooses to farm? |

Absolutely 
It's important to try and maintain not just the countryside but British businesses and trade too  |

Hear, hear!
I was at Quest (the esoteric one) one year and the debate turned to self sustainability and the countryside. What most people fail to realise is that there are no more truly wild places - save for the tops of mountains - left in Britain.
Everywhere we look has a some point or is continued to be managed by the hand of humankind. If farmer's go out of business who will maintain our countryside. The answer is no-one because it's too expensive. The countryside will be changed forever, overrun with brambles and nettles. Livestock play an essential role despite the protestations of narrow minded veggies.
As an ex dairyman i am sick to death of everyone kicking the poor farmers of this great nation, they don't deserve this. We should give them our wholehearted support in any way we can. |

"Yes we should support British farmers. But I don't eat lamb  to fatty for my old body Tesco and other supermarkets are killing the farm industry. "
Lamb is still pretty buoyant though - probably because of the competition from the EU, to where we export a lot of lamb.... |

You cannot oversimplify ecological data to "plants are less harmful than animals to produce", it nonsense, which results from the reductiop of scientific data in order to make a soundbite.
Sheep are a pretty good example - Sheep are mostly produced on marginal land that isn't much good for anthing else. You couldn't produce a plant crop on the slopes of Snowdon, for example, but you can produce protien in the form of sheep meat.
Where this marginal land is close to cropping land, sheep are increasingly being brought down the hill in winter (as used to happen pre petrochemical fertilisers) to graze a catch crop (turnips for example) to bring some fertility to the arable land, which means that less chemical fertilisers are needed.

 ............as we are in Britain hence we should support and help our flailing agricultural before propping up the rest of the worlds to sell back to us at inflated prices .......yes there some evidence that it is less impacting to grow instead of produce animals ...but a we are naturally carnivorous,we would not of made it past natural selection /evolution if not ,,,b unless we changed our complete farming production models to gm foods it would not be sustainable or profitable and I bet my left testi you and your dont step on that ant types wont swallow Frankenstein foods ....so its a rock and a hard place and any way lamb is bloody lovely ohh ph oh I going weatherspoons to get a steak I feel hold the salad please I got multivitamins for that protien is my friend dont say soy n hemp n that white rubber tat it ain't the same xxx |

It's actually the consumer's (us) desire for cheap produce that is killing agriculture. Supermarkets merely facilitate this. On that note Morrisons supply a range of dairy produce where 10p extra goes directly into the farmer's pocket. Keep an eye out for this i always buy it. |

this is either a thinly veiled dig at those who follow the flock...

either way, I try and buy Welsh wherever possible as, although it is more expensive it is far superior to NZ  |

To quote DEFRA's figures for June 2015, farm gate prices (how much the farmer gets for his milk) were around 23.66 pence per litre. It costs around 30 pence per litre to produce. We should reinstate the MMB, reduce foreign imports (we are not self sufficient) and charge consumers the real value of what they're actually getting. |

Haha yes but you constantly see meat and dairy etc being advertised to the public and companies trying their hardest to get people to buy meat from them. Also, you should note that whenever a vegan or vegetarian tells someone they are one, the meat eater will almost always go on a tangent about how it's wrong and how eating meat is right etc. How is that not shoving views down people's throats? |

I don't feel the need to announce that I'm a meat eater.. or a bisexual... or a member of the WI.
If you share any piece of info about yourself you will get conversation from it.
Vegans don't get hate abuse for not eating meat but they dish it back quite happily.
Now is prob the time to say I didn't eat meat for 8+ years... not because I thought it was cruel.. inhumane or unfair to the farmers. Because it was a free choice of what to have for dinner |

I think I'm more in favour of having more decent people than farming than many of the land grabbing and abusing lot that are currently doing it. I believe this as someone whose family stretches centuries and generations down to the present.
With more people displaced from work by technology, in the very near future, we could deploy many to be caretakers of our countryside, amongst other essential activities to preserve our shared heritage and well being.
With increased use of robotics etc, the rich few will become increasingly super wealthy, whilst the masses will struggle for income and to support themselves. Sheep may be a small part of this but we must rely less on meat for our food in future and massively reduce our Carbon footprints. |

It's funny how many people don't realise why farmers are subsidised, main reason is to keep the cost of food in the shops cheaper for the public, take them away and add the cost on at the till and how many people would then complain about subsidies? Or we stop growing crops and producing meat eggs and milk or any farming full stop. How economical would it be to ship everything in from abroad? The cost of producing food is not cheap! |
