[QUOTE="Sheep92, post: 8091902, member: 15094"] You need to get sheep off your ground for 100 to 120 days be that by housing, outwintering on a forage crop like fodder Beet, a sacrifice field, or away to winter grazing. I house all my ewes for this reason from 1st December onwards and have great covers of grass over the whole farm for lambing onto, No concentrates is fed after turnout. . Used to take winter grazing which is not an option now Housing sheep isn't cheap but neither is the loss of land from sowing a crop on a non arable farm I try to make good quality pit silage most ewes are housed on slats. Takes very little concentrates mainly soya and minerals to build up protein [/QUOTE]
