I found using a back fence allowed the land to green up naturally after grazing, you need to have something that will germinate that late in the year, or recover from being grazed I like spring oats. How about as a trial using some spring barley as you will have it in the shed already. then if it grows back well enough you won't need to drill it in the spring and you will get it established well before you could travel on the ground, if not you can kill it, if you don't get it all nobody would know because that is what you are going to plant anyway.

This sounds sensible although I would almost certainly spray it off anyway to kill any blackgrass that comes through.
