@iandicko73 Thanks

@simonprescott3 It's a programme called Cefn Gwlad on S4C. In Welsh with English subtitles on the BBC iPlayer.

Here's another woman farming on her own, look. Back in 1990. Farming some of the remotest, hardest land in Britain.

@Rosewood_Farm @niels_corfield @howemill Yea haven't much time for it my self to be fair. Will definitely be giving this a try. Thanks 👍

@niels_corfield @howemill @simonprescott3 I'd go with this - sheep don't usually touch hair grass if they have a choice (and cattle aren't that much more likely to graze it). Horrible stuff when it dominates - wraps round your legs, pokes you in the ear, makes electric fencing difficult...

Hey wondering if someone could help me. What is this grass and how can I get rid of it? It spreading everywhere here. #sheep365 #Farm365 #clubhectare #lambing2020

@niels_corfield @howemill @Rosewood_Farm Thanks niel will give this ago. 👍

@howemill @simonprescott3 @Rosewood_Farm Delay spring grazing in these passages when grazing through these particular pastures make sure utilisation rates are low and selectivity is also low Do not allow stock to eat out the good grasses around these Competition is your friend

@howemill @niels_corfield @Rosewood_Farm Thanks again for advice

@simonprescott3 Sounds like a good rest period, but maybe try reducing the time they are in the field - maybe @niels_corfield or @Rosewood_Farm can advise? We have lots of it but I see it as a good thing - deep rooting, helps soil health, wildlife habitat, native breeds eat it...1/2

@howemill Also all sheep go off are own ground from November till mid march

@simonprescott3 How long are you resting for?

@howemill When growth finally starts sheep are on shift pattern only few days in each field so we aren't over grazing and giving the grass and soil a chance. We outdoor lambing at the moment and this is why this field Is bare at present but will be rested after. Thanks for advice

@simonprescott3 Looks like tufted hair grass - why do you want rid of it?

42 hours on the go with 2 hours sleep but kelso ram sales was well worth it. What a great day. Definitely a must see. #kelsoramsales2019 #sheep365
