How much per head per week is a reasonable price to pay for mob grazing a few hundred sheep at this time of year. Loads of grass in big paddocks, good access but does need electric fencing for peace of mind.

Do you mean you are tidying this up for someone or is it part of a commercial venture.
Low quality forage at this time of the year would be worth very little or nothing in this area if you are fencing it and you would need water.

You need it grazed to claim the stewardship sub. Maybe pay a grazier slightly less than it would cost you to top it?
