Place & story
Breeding stock for tenants
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described Solloghodmore’s farmers as concentrating on dairying, with pasture considered better suited to the land than grain production. Lord Stanley had imported several Durham bulls to improve the stock and allowed his tenants to use them without charge. Lewis’s account therefore records access to breeding animals as part of estate agricultural improvement, rather than simply naming a resident landlord. It gives no figures for the resulting change in milk production or herd quality. [2]
