    folks did a bit of reseeding in the spring time
    the weather turned shortly after doing it and sure we all know the story since
    havent grazed it yet and never got around to spraying post emergence due to weather etc, should I still spray it now if I get a chance, its not really weedy but in spots there are lots of docks popping up
    also its kinda hungy looking, wonder should I give it a bit of fertilizer again after grazing it, that is if it ever dry enough to let cattle in, will probably ust have to let weanlings into it the way this year is

    Without looking at it, I'd say the docks might be big and shelter what likes beneath. Lambs?

    similar situation here, was advised by dairygold to go with doxstar at half rate as I had no clover in the reseed.

    seemed to have knocked them well back at least, have a neighbour grazing some calves in there this week, cant wait to see it at the weekend.

    Similar to OP spring reseed on dry ground but too soft to graze until now.
    No docks but infested with redshank and charlock.
    I didn't spray but I topped it a while back and am going to graze it this week with a few cattle.

    It is washed out looking too and I'll put something on it after the grazing.
    It got 10-10-20 at seeding so I would normally use CAN but I might go with some Cut Sward or similar to try and thicken it up.
