Light Land Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Can you put sheep or cattle on "set-aside" seems a waste to not turn the grass into money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Can you put sheep or cattle on "set-aside" seems a waste to not turn the grass into money? Quite alot of arable men dont want to hassle of making a field animal safe so cant escape and in most arable areas there's not many sheep or cattle for many miles and if there are already have there own fields that farmer wants to use himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 So you could start a grazzing company and put a hot wire around the paddocks and grazz them off for the farmer then sell the stock?that way the owner has no need to fence his land? \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 yes but what are you going to do with the stock in winter as be too cold for cattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 You can only graze setaside from 15th Sep - 13th Jan (ish) It must be topped between 15th July and 15th Sep with cuttings left. So best bet is to top a couple of times to keep it short, then on 15th July. Then put a pile of hoggs on at 15th Sep and fatten them.
