Looking for sheep keep in East Devon, Ideally long term keep but short considered.
Good prompt payment, references can be provided.

Don't have any close enough or available, but what is tho going rate for short keep.
Mine is black oat and vetch cover crop. Grazer has to electric fence it , water provided.
Thanks S

Not sure what to charge !
I am trying to cover cost of seed and sowing , but it will come to nearly £ 40 / acre.
Is 40p/hd/wk about right ? Or too cheap.
Needs to be sustainable for both parties.

I would say that is on the cheap side, maybe 50/60p per week[/QUOTE]

Ok thanks. I am billing for last year so i dont mind as it wasnt the best cover crop and was sown late.
This year might have to be different.
The grazier is a local chap, very responsible and building flock numbers so i must keep him onside.
Thanks S.
