    Not too bad here - but I wasn't expecting issues yet.
    Still haven't grazed fields that were closed up a few months ago.

    I think it'll be in 2-3 weeks time that I'll be under pressure...

    Thinking of moving the ewes and lambs onto a field that I have closed since Feb and got 18-6-12. A good covering of grass now and I feel that if I leave it any longer it will get ahead of them. Just had a couple of warmish days that seem to have done the job.
