> graze about 70 ewes under an old apple
> orchard

Hi,

It is better to never graze old apple orchards.

Pesticide residues that were legal at the time applied will 
presist in the soil for very long periods.

This land should find another non-agriculture use so that 
pesticide residues can be excluded from the human food 
chain.   Horses, too, usually will eventually find their 
way into the human food chain.

See detailed information on grazing and soil pesticide 
residues from an old apple orchard at the following site.
