Sheep grazing (I know most arable men hate the woolly buggers)

[GorFarm]

Morning. I know a lot of arable men won’t want sheep on the place!! However, on the off chance someone wants to take a punt (and a few pints) on growing crops for sheep to graze through the winter, would anyone be keen or know of someone who would be? Anywhere in the South East or East Anglia would be ideal. Used to graze sheep on turnips in East Anglia but that has changed management now.

Would be keen to hear from anyone wherever you are and see if we can work something out.

Thanks

How many could you put in? Anything over 70 acres would be decent

What cover crop mix do you like. ,
Radish. Oats. Sprinkle of stubble turnips ,
140 acre here. , some can stay while April. When salad spuds go in
Our stubble turnip man says no feed value in it. ,

Your man’s being a bit particular there I’ve fattened plenty of horned hoggs on that mix (and it was a case of spot the turnip) in march/early April before spuds
