Depends what your system is ,we are all grass , they do a good job though ,i could get more if i wanted , so i suppose you are right in a wayNo landlord has tack sheep grazing for the money. It's all about the wider holistic benefits the sheep grazing does.
It was 50p around here (North Derbyshire) several years ago, doesn't sound like it's changed much. We'll probably have some this year, aftermath are growing back nicelyMidlands, anywhere from 30p-60p. Depending on grass quality, fence situation etc
It hasn’t altered more than a few pence for years really. It’s only this last 2 years that the margin in store lambs has really increasedIt was 50p around here (North Derbyshire) several years ago, doesn't sound like it's changed much.

Very well put. No definitive answer.I would just like to make the point for anyone visiting this thread for a definitive answer, there are many factors that could make grazing worth well over £1 /hd to actually needing to pay someone to graze.
Factors to consider;
quality of forage
quantity of forage
Size of blocks
management facilities
Fencing
Water
Shepherding
location
Time- when and for how long
Responsibilities for inevitable issues.
The actual figure is probably less relevant than having a suitable arrangement that makes both parties happy.
