what is the going rate for tack sheep I'm interested in west wales but any one can post for their area if they want to
No just wanted to know what to charge this year that's fair to bothHave you got any tack going spare then ?
Says the man who's been insisting he gets a pound a week for years!I just charge a lump sum .cant be arsed counting sheep
Yeah, because it's neighbouring land they go in and out a lot for different treatments/objectives etc so it's done per day..8p a day, somehow that sounds better than 56p a week.

What sort of farms are offering this (other dairy)? Beef cattle only? Arable? I'm not aware of any in this area.This winter I'm paying 20p/ flat per head for permanent pasture, 50p for dairy leys (high clover and all ryegrass)
And have brought flat rate grass in at £25/acre for improved permanent grass with between 4-6inches of cover on, for the period 1st oct - 1st march.
Turned down neeps and kale at 60p as the growth rates on it make it similar to good permanent grass so not worth paying more than equivalent grass is available for.
That's your good luck and it's how you make your low input system pay where others couldn't. Not having a go at you, just saying..My largest winter grazing venue wants the ewes from early August to mid March ----mostly fenced , some good grass & some poorer
15p/wk and the landlord checks them too
Just thought i'd put that in to wind you guys up
(Pay 40p/wk other places for good grass , un-fenced but the landlord checks them for me --just to prove it ain't all roses down here )
