It's a bit stressed, but gee the phalaris has hung on well. Curiously, every night my stocking rate lifts by 30-40% but the roos clearly preference everything else before phalaris....

Well, that point has been reached. Nil autumn break means no late winter feed for lambing so these girls will have to go. 21/22/23 drop Composite x Nudie ewes mated to Nudie rams. Great way to kick-start entry into shedding sheep. Lambing ~10th August. DM or call if interested.

Been a fairly tough period and not much rain fell over Easter. Going to be interesting to see how well everything has survived... can you spot the phalaris?

One for you @agronomybrady ...I have woolly ones and full shedding ones, and everything in between... its an untidy looking ewe flock atm. Last of the coopworth Composites leave the farm in 2 weeks.

Weighing, mixing and applying fertiliser to trials...not much has changed over the years running trials. If you cut and remove forage to measure growth, you have to put the nutrients back.
