Last week’s ex-hurricane conditions across the country called a halt to grazing on many farms. With another storm forecast for this weekend which will be accompanied by more rain, this could finish grazing for 2017 for the remaining dryer farms. For farmers who have grass left, options include taking in some ewes for grazing over the next six weeks. If this option is chosen, you need to be careful not to allow access to the whole farm and still stick to a closing plan. Remember to fill out all necessary documentation when taking in sheep to graze. Have a clear plan of when you want sheep on the farm and more importantly when you want them taken off.
