    i have a field that i am thinking of reseeding maybe around the 9th or 10th of april,just wondering if i did reseed it when should it be available to graze again i know it depends on the growth but just a rough date just i cant do without the field too long as i am stocked tight enough,

    About 6 to 7 weeks. Once the new grass passes the pull test and ground and weather conditions are good, it's ready then!

    so around the 2nd week of may it should be ready,just it would be a pity to do it and then be caught up for grass that early in the year
