surplus grass on a sheep farm

lakill Farm

Client called me to ask what he could do with surplus grass he has at the minute

I said either rent it out temporatlely for a lad with weanlings/stores, or cut silage or sell grass for someone else to cut silage and charge per bale

How much per bale could he expect to charge for the grass only? lad buying cuts, bales and draws away

how much per day per head to graze for a weanling? and for a store?

open to other ideas i can put to him.

(ps no monetary gain for me in this :rolleyes:)

What a service your providing
My Damm ag advisor wouldn't even help me on that 1
All he ever told me was would you consider selling a site ( which I didn't have)

Anyway vent over
10 a bale least hassle for him
After that per head you have paperwork

Over €100 difference an acre with fert? How much fert would you put on per acre?
