Stubble Turnip/Forage Rape Mix

[Bullrush55]

Ive been asked to drill a turnip/forage rape mix after cereals before spring barley next year, what sort of charge per head per week do people think its worth?

65-70p per week lambs. Ewes £1 somewhere in that ballpark

Not in South Norfolk!
25-30p per head. +25p if it’s fenced

What difference does it make if it’s South Norfolk ?

As above, supply and demand. All the livestock are in the West, so transport to get them to South Norfolk will cost a fortune.
Even here, on the Wales/Shropshire border, very few are getting £1/hd/wk for ewes. In West Wales, where sheep don’t have to travel as far and there is more competition, then maybe, but I doubt the shepherds are making anything from that.
