I have been offered access to about an acre of rough pasture for my sheep. The land has been unused for about ten years and is overgrown with, mainly, tall grass and some weeds. The grass tussocks make it impossible to mow and the land is quite wet. I think the grass is too tall to put the sheep on, four badger faced welsh. Is it best to strim it down and put them on? The grass does seem healthy just overgrown. Or does the land need some management over the winter and put them on it in the spring.
As said the access is free, although any work needed to reclaim it is down to me. The land is adjacent to mine, near Pencader, so the sheep can gain access via a gate.
Any advice appreciated.
