        Livestock, with a little bit of silage or hay made if the terrain allows. The bulk of the area is like the picture below though. 5-10 acres to support a ewe and you might only get 60 lambs per 100 in a tough year. 120" rainfall in places, ph under 4, you talk about inches of topsoil this is a pile of rocks with a handful of dust thrown on top!
