A flock that knows its own ground. HEFTSTONE is a free hill farm incremental that plays in your browser. At the head of a valley there are small stony fields by the house and the open fell above them, where no fence has ever stood. Your ewes stay on their own patch of fell because they KNOW it. That learned ground is called a heft. Ewe teaches it to lamb, and it is the farm's real capital.
Four things that pull against each other The hefts. At each autumn sale you keep a share of every heft's ewe lambs, and they are born on its ground. Bought-in ewes know nothing. They stray at the gather, and they reset the heft's generations to nothing. A heft gains a generation at each sale where every ewe on it was born on it. The fell. Heather feeds the flock, is winter browse and earns the stewardship payment.
Graze it past what it carries and it wears out and goes to rough grass, which carries fewer sheep. Leave grass ungrazed beside bracken and the bracken takes it. You can cut bracken, and spread heather brash on grass. Stone and walls. The in-bye fields are full of stone. Clearing a field improves its grass and puts the stone on the pile.
