1 the weight of something:
Despite their considerable heft, buffalo are agile creatures.
Does Brady have the intellectual heft to run the city?
What are the implications for national parks if the disease spreads over the hefted flocks?
In many cases the stock, whether sheep or cattle, has to be hefted to these areas.
The hill farmer will be required to purchase or rent the hefted flock.
Very often such hefted flocks belong to the landlord.
On many tenanted hill farms, that hefted stock is also a "bound-sheep stock".
I pay tribute to the former ministerial team, the officials and the vets, especially for what happened in the hefted areas of the moorland.
He is also right to draw attention to the particular issues and set of problems that confront us in dealing with the outbreak as it affects hefted flocks and moorlands.
Even for rare sheep breeds and special sheep breeds it would not be right to try to cull out the disease in hefted sheep as an automatic response.
