Action鈥檚 aim听

This supplemental action鈥檚 aim is that more than 80% of grazing livestock units (GLU) on moorland or lowland heathland habitats are either:听

• pedigree rare native breeds听

• heritage semi-feral breeds听

The purpose of this is to听maintain听or increase the number of rare native breed or heritage semi-feral breed grazing livestock.鈥�听

Where you can do this action听

You can do this supplemental action on eligible land that听you鈥檙e听grazing with livestock, which you听enter into听one of the following SFI26 base actions:鈥�听

• AGF1:听Maintain听very low听density in-field agroforestry on less sensitive land鈥�听

• AGF2:听Maintain听low density in-field agroforestry on less sensitive land鈥�听

• UPL1: Moderate livestock grazing on moorland鈥�听

• UPL2: Low livestock grazing on moorland鈥�听

• UPL3: Limited livestock grazing on moorland鈥�听

• UPL8: Shepherding livestock on moorland (remove stock for at least 4 months)鈥�听

• UPL10: Shepherding livestock on moorland (remove stock for at least 8 months)鈥�听

• SCR2: Manage scrub and open habitat mosaics鈥�听

• OFM3: Organic land management 鈥� enclosed rough grazing鈥�听

You can only apply for this supplemental action in the same SFI26 application as your selected SFI base action.听

What to do听

During each grazing season, more than 80% of total GLU on land听entered into听the relevant base action must be听in the 鈥榓t risk鈥� category听on the UK native breeds support (NBS)听濒颈蝉迟. The livestock must also be either:鈥�鈥�鈥�听

• pedigree rare native breeds 鈥� this means听they鈥檙e听registered in a recognised pedigree breeding book鈥�听

• heritage semi-feral breeds 鈥� this means听they鈥檙e听registered in a recognised breeding book听

Where relevant, the stocking density (total GLU) on land听entered into听this action must be as required in the applicable base action.鈥�听

To convert livestock numbers into GLU, you must use the following values:鈥�鈥�听

• Cattle over 2 years old at the start of an agreement year 鈥撯��1.0鈥�GLU鈥�听

• Cattle over 6 months to 2 years old at the start of an agreement year鈥�鈥撎�0.6鈥�GLU鈥�听

• Lowland ewe and lamb, or ram 鈥� 0.12 GLU听

• Store lamb, hill听ewe听and lamb or hogg or teg 鈥� 0.08 GLU听

• Goat鈥�鈥撎�0.12 GLU鈥�鈥�听

• Pony or donkey鈥�鈥撎�0.8鈥�GLU鈥�鈥�听

• Horse鈥�鈥撎�1.0 GLU鈥�听

Lambs at foot do not have a separate GLU allocation. They are included in the figures shown for 鈥榚we and lamb鈥�.听

Read the 鈥榓dvice to help you do this action鈥� to find out how to calculate the livestock density.听

You must produce the following written records (which can be paper-based or electronic):鈥�听

• a monthly record of grazing animals at the parcel level鈥�听

• unique individual animal movement identification numbers for each eligible animal鈥�听

• changes to the original documentation since the action鈥檚 start date, such as replacement animals鈥�听

• the unique individual permanent breed identification numbers for each eligible animal 鈥� either the pedigree registration number or birth notification number鈥�听

• breed registration records and proof of animal provenance,听parentage听and availability for each animal鈥�听

When to do it听

You must do this action each year of its duration.鈥�听

How to do it听

It鈥檚听up to you how you do this action, as long as you:鈥�鈥�听

• follow this action鈥檚 requirements 鈥� these are听identified听by a 鈥榤ust鈥櫶�

• do the action in a way that could听reasonably be听expected to achieve this action鈥檚 aim鈥�鈥�听

You may find it helpful to read the 鈥榓dvice to help you do this action鈥�, but it鈥檚听not part of this action鈥檚 requirements.听

Evidence to keep听

You must keep the required written records and supply this evidence if we ask for it.鈥�鈥�听

Advice to help you do this action听

The following advice may help you to do this action, but it鈥檚 not part of this action鈥檚 requirements.

How to calculate your native breed percentage

Once you鈥檝e converted your livestock numbers into听GLU听using the values shown under 鈥榃hat to do鈥�, you can use the听听to calculate your native breed percentage.

Native breeds

This action explains which native breeds are eligible (under 鈥榃hat to do鈥�).

If you鈥檙e sourcing native breed animals, try to choose animals which have been bred and reared on a similar habitat to where you鈥檒l be grazing them.

If you have not used native rare breeds before you can get help from graziers or livestock conservation organisations like the听.

You may find it helpful to read the听.

Grazing the habitat

Cattle, sheep, and ponies graze in different ways.

You can achieve greater environmental benefits if you graze with:

• a livestock species which has suitable grazing traits for the habitat type
• a suitable number of livestock for the habitat type

You can choose to mix livestock to create a more varied habitat.

Using an unsuitable livestock species or level of grazing (overgrazing or under grazing) can:

• damage the habitat
• increase surface water run-off
• damage historic or archaeological features, where present

Grazing traits: ponies

Ponies:

• can graze swards very tight, and at low stocking densities can create a good structural mosaic
• have a strong preference for grasses and will graze long coarse grass, such as purple moor-grass
• are very adaptable grazers, and can graze bracken (particularly in the autumn) and gorse
• are less likely to graze heather over the winter months compared with sheep

Grazing traits: cattle

Cattle:

• graze on longer swards, and graze less selectively than sheep and on coarser forage, creating a more varied sward structure
• will graze lower quality forage such as purple moor-grass, particularly in the spring and early summer

Cattle are more likely to cause poaching due to their size, particularly on wetter areas. You can remove them from the area over the winter months to reduce the risk of poaching.

Grazing traits: sheep

Sheep:

• can graze swards very tight
• are highly selective feeders at fine scale, often selecting young flowers and shoots
• are unlikely to eat long coarse grasses, such as purple moor-grass, if alternative food is available
• can lead to a decline in dwarf shrub cover due to their selective browsing of these, particularly if they鈥檙e grazing over the winter months

Sheep can cause a decline in dwarf shrub cover due to selective browsing, particularly when out over the winter months. You can reduce the risk of this happening by:

• removing all the sheep for the entire winter or part of the winter (鈥榩artial off-wintering鈥�)
• reducing sheep numbers during the winter months

Neighbouring livestock

If the area of land you enter into this action is unfenced and adjacent land is grazed by other farmers or land managers, you may need to:

• consider the potential impact of neighbouring livestock straying on your ability to meet this action鈥檚 requirements
• talk to neighbouring farmers or land managers about removing stray livestock from your area of land
