[QUOTE="Hampton, post: 823482, member: 6937"] I've got sheep, cattle and arable. Currently lambing first 300. They should be done by end of month and be turned out. Cattle will calve later this month and into February, and earliest 15 will be moved into one of the old lambing yards to make room in the cattle shed. Ewes and lambs wil be turned out on fields for a month that will then be used for cows and calves in mid to late April. Then silage will be made on other fields and the cows will go on their, until after second cut ( first cut hay) when sheep will replace the cattle on the silage fields and cows will go on second cut new grass. Cows will then come in and sheep will probably roam on all grassland until early group come in in dec. Oh I forgot the March April lambers which will come inside before being turned out on some new grassland. In essence I am having 2/3 crops of something (lambs, calves, hay, silage) off grassland and using the lambing sheds 3 times, once for cattle. Try costing that in and it shows how complicated it can be. Granted it is easier if you are a pure sheep farmer, but most lowland farmers aren't. I have got some £9k ewes for sale if the bloke is interested though! [/QUOTE]
