[QUOTE="Bucks Boy, post: 7977557, member: 164465"] Took a farm on similar to this. I topped it all off with a mower. The Sward will be full of old rank grass and weeds. Nothing will want to eat and stock won’t do particularly well. I just let topped grass rot down and it was gone by the spring. Maybe a bit late now. This will give you a fresh regrowth. Probably don’t get anymore stock yet. Graze what you need and hay make the rest. You’ll then know if the grass is any good and what needs reseeding. Found electric fencing quickest and cheapest to start with. Also hedgerows probably need attention before any permanent fencing. I put wheat crops in some fields to clear weed burden first before reseeding. [/QUOTE]
