I'm debating spraying on this last rotation of the grazing, or am I best waiting untill spring, but will it knock the established grass like it does a reseed.
One particular ragwort field will be ploughed and reseed next back end.

Ragwort be too strong to spray now, at best you’ll dry it out an will still seed! Wait until spring an spray everything when it’s still fleshy, I’d top it now an put sheep on if you can!
