All the pasture fields for livestock had not been ploughed in living memory, and in those days that meant back into the 1870s. Since it is almost impossible to make a living as a stock farmer nowadays perhaps a few of these old pastures have now been ploughed. I ploughed one once - quite a project first time over!
