I have luckily bought some land which needs a bit of attention and am moving my three onto it next month. There is a good bit of grass growth as it was rested during the sale, almost 8 acres of average to good grass on slopes. The plan is to graze one side in summer and the other in winter with them living out with access to shelter. Don’t want the grass to grow too long but it hasn’t rained for ages here and it isn’t going bonkers although could do with a graze. Have been offered mechanical topping as an alternative and am aware of the need not to graze the land too low - have spent enough time renting overgrazed and muddy land to be very aware of the consequences of this in mud/ bad grass, we are on clay here. Want to not need too much hay in winter as supplies can be difficult so don’t want all the grass gone. Can’t see hay being cut from it very easily due to the significant slope. Have been offered two sets of lambs, one set of 20 and one of 30. Having reviewed google it seems to be about 10 sheep an acre? Unsure what to do as there are two people offering and don’t want to offend either. Also don’t want to end up with not enough grass on the grazed side come winter. Realistically there is too much at the moment for mine but we may have a drought soon and nothing is really growing, having said that sheep are meant to improve/ not at least trash/ grazing. Next year I will have grazed in winter so not expecting the same concerns. What would you do??
