What do you expect to pay for rented grazing? I realise there will be big variations both geographically and in terms of quality, but I really haven't a clue and don't want my niaivity to be too apparent when I ask the cost of a couple of options I have

I'm interested in knowing more about the cost of rented grazing as well (sorry to be too useless to answer your question, milliebecks) because we're about to approach a local farmer about a field.

How long is a piece of string?
I vary from paying 40p/wk/head (good clover leys and the landlord looks over them on a daily basis) to the landlord paying me 10p/wk to graze
I don't pay for anything under 10 acres

I have rented out grass keep from 35p to 75p/wk head

Average ?
grass =10p
With fencing +10p
with water + 5p 
So 25p for fenced & watered PP

Plenty of people pay plenty more but I need to make a living and only pay what I can afford
If you don't make a living out of it then it will be a different game

I pay from £30/acre to £100 / acre a year, and for headage rate grazing, free to 30p per week.
Just got some good dairy grass for 3 months at 20p sheep per week.
Thats in Yorkshire.
Permanent pasture and blocks less than 7-8acres I pay only if they are within spitting distance of another bit Im renting or own, otherwise I get them free.

Well .... I'm very glad I asked!
I had no idea grazing could be charged per head/per week and had anticipated an annual per acre rate to be far higher.
I'm in the north of Scotland, so I don't suppose anyone would pay me to graze (because of the shortage of quality grazing locally), but I might have accepted paying over the odds for something a bit rough around the edges!
Thanks
