‘Farm type and size’ column includes an indication of location (U = upland; L = lowland), and of farm size using a categorisation of numbers of breeding cattle and sheep as indicated by farmers in a pre-interview questionnaire, although some farms had large numbers of non-breeding animals as well as other enterprises. BC = breeding beef cattle; DC = dairy cattle; BS = breeding sheep; ND = animals present but data not given.
