Is it still in the family? Do you still farm it at all? There's a reason for the question

Unfortunately not .
It was leased from Duchy of Cornwall and the lease expired when the leaseholder died(my Gran).
Was run by the family for about 80 years.
Ran 6-700 sheep on the moor + 20 or so cows in the paddocks.

having a problem with my comp.
I would rather wait my turn.
Thank you all the same

Shame. The reason I asked was that my father's company used to be the main supplier of veterinary pharmaceuticals and farm supplies in the south west for many years 1960-1980. He knew every one that farmed and The Princeton / Dartmoor area in particular.
