We are thinking of out wintering a load of cattle this year due to expansion and lack of shed room. We were planning on putting up a shed but would rather this was left for another year due to a variety of reasons. We have a field just under 10 acres that needs reseeding anyway as yield is poor and it takes far too long to grow a decent crop. Down in our neck of the woods (helston Cornwall) we can get away with sowing stuff a month later than what is recommended due to the heat of the soil - planted red clover in late September last year and wouldn't have know it this year.
My question is what do people reccomend sowing? It would be for yearlings so would also like to know how many I could out winter in the field? I have atleast 30 that could potentially be outwintered and could quite happily find a few more. I would ideally like to graze the field once more before ploughing it, cows have just come out of that field and it rained last night so should get some decent regrowth.
