I assume I can straight away after lime has been applied?
Getting some out out now, and want to graze some of those fields soon.

Work away. 'What goes in must come out.'

A dairy farmer beside me put out lime yesterday, his cows are in the field today. They're all upright so far.

I wouldn't let cows close to calving graze fields which recently got lime as there is high calcium levels in lime would cause milk fever
