[QUOTE="scatterbrainedlass, post: 2799852, member: 51230"] I am currently renting some land off a horsey person. She had too much grass, needed help keeping it down. Originally 1 field, when I offered a price she said I could use a 2nd field in rotation for a bit extra a month. It's probably just shy of 3 acres all in, and I currently have 15 gimmers on there, which cannot keep on top of the grass. This morning I mentioned to her (being the decent sort and keeping her in the loop) that I'd probably shove about 40 on there for a few weeks pre-tupping, get it eaten off and then rest it, tupping elsewhere, and see how it looked. She said it'd cost me more if I put more sheep on. Now I assumed that I was paying for the land, and it was up to me how I use it (within reason). She wants grazing per head despite the fact that the 15 I have now will not do the job she wants doing. She's heard from someone else that they have to pay per head for grazing, and wants the same, but couldn't remember how much he was paying. I was under the impression that you pay EITHER land rent or grazing per head. Unfortunately, due to other issues right now, I can't go elsewhere for another couple of months, so I am going to have to be nice and try to keep on the right side of her for the time being. Is she being a bit unreasonable here, or am I being naive? [/QUOTE]
