    Just wondering if any of you guys put in an application for the sheep fencing scheme. Saw its released again and they give 50% increase on reference cost if its on hill land ( ie cant get to it with tractor)

    Am considering it at the moment but we'd have an anwful lot to do.

    Do they have recommended spec for the fencing do any of you know?

    fairly strict spec on the fencing , .... posts have to be certified and of a certain diameter, strainers have to tagged,

    done some when the scheme first opened, a lot of paper work and had 3 inspections , but got paid eventually,

    sorry no info on the costings
