our itinerary had been rearranged we were to return to scotland but later were to make a fast trip back to ireland to plow we had some unexpected free time in belfast which we used to good advantage in the evenings we were guests of different groups of young farmers and each day we saw something of particular interest on the tuesday we were shown through the parliament buildings and spent an hour in the gallery while the house was in session wednesday two members of our party were interviewed on the bbc and in the afternoon we attempted to plow but the soil was too frosty thursday we were driven to the university farm at hillsborough about 1000 lambs are fed annually and there are now being marketed iso each week weighing about 125 lbs and bringing in about 6 2136 each there are also 150 steers fed each year these are bought in locally and are mostly i herefords the cattle are fed in covered paddocks and are kept chiefly foi converting the straw into manure due to the high cost of feeders they do not consider it profitable to feed a very heavy grain ration during the winter and any that are not fat enough to sell are finished on grass tom axd mitch hobnobbing ix florida the
