what value would you put on permanent pasture grassland for 5 months grazing October to March - sward covers of average 2300kg DM/ha, mostly reasonably dry ground
Thanks
Thanks
I appreciate your input but if we assume winter grazing to be much poorer value than 6 months when grass is actually growing - what would you value that ground at for a whole year grazing? No sfp.If fences are good and stock been looked over, then approx £40/acre
Haha you know as well as I do it would be nearer £100/acre here in WalesI appreciate your input but if we assume winter grazing to be much poorer value than 6 months when grass is actually growing - what would you value that ground at for a whole year grazing? No sfp.
I thought £15-20 was generous but am interested to hear others views
Ah, but we aren't subsidised as much as you guys over the border
£100/ac annual rent without sfp? 3/4 of useful growing season in Apr-sept? £25/ac for winter grazing?
I think £25/acre is fair. Tbh honest people in Wales aren't being as silly re rents as they have been. Some blocks have been sold off because they couldn't let them.Ah, but we aren't subsidised as much as you guys over the border

Usually means daily whizz round on the quad then spot a slightly lame one and insist the owner travels 70 miles to treat it immediately.What does " looking " involve ?. Genuine question.
Do you know of anybody that wants some?50 - 60p / head / week for grass lice round here
Yeah used to send a lot of sheep down Hexham way but dairy farms down there are few and far between, struggling to find enough this year.Not that many dairy farms left this side of the hill, most have their regular sheep men providing the infestation
