[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7786189, member: 348"] Tbh, if you still have that number of sheep, 5ac of swedes will only help to eek out forage supplies unless you are only running a proportion on it. Maybe you have a bumper crop, but I would hope to keep 200-250 ewe lambs growing steadily on 5ac of swedes, from Christmas to early March. I’ve given up on swedes here as seed is expensive and yields too unreliable. More reliable in places with more summer rainfall I expect. [/QUOTE]
