[QUOTE="Al R, post: 6737369, member: 7565"] We all have some sacrifice fields etc and nothing wrong with that, go by your October/November stocking rate, organic here stocking near 4 ewes/acre. I Plan to move to lighter ewes and stock 5/acre on the same acreage. the extra grass produced in June/July can be made to haylage which then feeds the ewes in the winter, feeding them 3 weeks before they need it means they’ll not lose condition hopefully so less need for concentrate and they can be set stocked in their lambing fields 2-3 weeks before lambing so minimal stress on the ewes etc etc etc....... no point preaching to anyone on this thread as we all know how are farms/animals work (y) [/QUOTE]
