[QUOTE="neilo, post: 3266206, member: 348"] Don't forget there are extra costs on slaughtering older lambs/young mutton over 12 months old, from splitting carcasses & disposal of material. The volunteer cereals would need to be free if you were looking to put feeders out and just using it to hold the sheep. A weekly headage payment and then putting all the nutritional inputs in yourself could work out very expensive, but would add nutrients to the farmer's field nicely. You might want to check the farmer is happy for you to be running across his arable land with a tractor to fill those feeders all winter too. I know I try to avoid doing so if at all possible.
