The non fertilised land isn’t standing the grazing
A lot of ewes and lambs will be away on a wagon to some better grazing when they are big enough to travel still no hope for cattle getting away out at this rate

I have a organic mate with gps does his then too
I’ve abandoned any more drilling and will put forage rape on it when ever it’s dry enough and let the sheep have it.
It’s going to be a cold wet weekend by the looks of it. After that it looks (atm) to be in mid teens.

Luckily the outside lambers were put back a bit so missed some of the worst days
Anyone lambing early and all outside on exposed places will have had some problems
