Fat Hens will they eat them or am I going to have to kill the clover

I lost my bottle and ordered a load of AN at £298 nearly a month ago. It jumped £15-20 the next week, and I heard it's gone up again now.

I didn't get a quote for CAN, which is usually cheaper per ton here, but more per kg of N.
You must be a fair distance from a fert plant or your merchants are expensive?

i'd get the ewes off and mow it down hard....chem choice in fresh reseed is limited anyway and actives have little effect on big fat hen.....happy to be put straight BTW :)

Got a reseed that is just full of fat hens 🤦‍♂️
I took the chance as it was sprayed off and put a decent amount of clover in the mix. Now I’m staring at a bloody mess. Have put ewes on it and obviously they are loving the grass but it’s becoming obvious as they eat it down how bad the bloody things are. If I graze it bare how enthusiastic will they be tomunch on the weeds ?. I expect I’m going to have to spray but I’m sure all of you fine optimistic folk will say otherwise 🙃
Is there a prize for the best reseed full of weeds think I'm right up there 😉
