Biggest downside we find with giving longer rest periods for grass is that we seem to be feeding more wild deer and geese than ever. Its particularly annoying at this time of year when the grass is just getting started and we're keeping in-lamb ewes on harder ground to let grass get a good start before lambing. I sometimes think I may as well just let the sheep overgraze it rather than the wildlife.
I'm curious to how others on here deal with, or just how they view this problem.
