Would be better if you had some store lambs to go on
200 would make a fair dent? It’s not thick like grass?I do have a couple hundred still here, but they would not dent it much I would think

I’d defo strip it regardless. It tramples too easy does that stuff. Just make sure their bellies are full when you get ready to go on. Should be grandI struggled to walk through it.
Prob best to strip graze it fur a few days to get them on it ok?

Got any hay you can fill them with? Empty bellies straight into clover rich feed is an excellent way to see lots of bloated lambs?The bellies full Before hand might be a problem.
This was the ewes this morning, lambs are on a bit better but not much.

FFS, you’ll be telling us next that the fella wants it grazed for free as well.
How many acres of it are there, and how soon does it need clearing?
I’d stick anything on it for a while tbh, but be wary of having breeding ewes on it for too long.
If you have enough store lambs, I’d let them into the lot and let them trample what they don’t eat. It’s not wasted if it’s returned to the soil. Store lambs will fatten on it like they’re on ad-Lib concentrates, so fill your boots.
As for strip grazing it…
1. How do you actually put a reliable fence up through that?
2. If you hold them on the first block, the rest is getting even further out of control/less digestible.
Can't you mow it make haylage of it
