    There was an old rule of thumb, €2 per ewe per month. Seen on here €0.60 - €0.80 per ewe per day.
    Lots depend on grass & fencing too

    i doubt anyone will pay .80 per day . if you can get e2 per month you would be doing alright for winter grazing.

    Yes dickie maximum. But a lot of lads in heavy ground give it for free around here for the obvious grass management benefits.

    not wishing to pull thread off topic, but does any body the correct procedure for notifying the Dept. for B & B.

    a neighbour has some unrgrazed reseeds due to the weather, & was asking me about sourcing store lambs & I suggested I might be interested in renting
