Moved ewes into fresh grass. Usually this is mown as lawn but sure to this year’s drought we haven’t mown so we’re stretching out our grass supplies to rest grazed fields for longer. Like in 2018 we managed not to feed any hay. At one stage i tried to but sheep showed not interest as the deep rooted herbage still tasted better to them.
