    I was thinking I could put sheep on some marginal land. It gets soft for cattle but could handle sheep weights.

    What's marginal where I live could be very different from what's marginal where you live.

    I'm classed as "poor grassland", and also use commonage (bog & hill). Mayo Connemara type blackface do well if managed right. Cheviot are another contender.

    Marginal would be drained boggy,suited for forestry
