Fascinating and valuable day doing some strategic grazing planning with @cags_grindrod that led to some bigger questions about the farm 
Stuff we often don’t think through properly and clearly
What are we actually trying to achieve?
Have we the right amount of stock for our land? Can we reduce costs?
Or spend some of our costs differently to work better?
What’s the best balance between our different work?

Long and the short being that we probably have too many sheep and the benefit of the bottom fifth is very marginal
And our winter hay costs might be better spent on away wintering or renting some land permanently to provide respite for our land in spring and autumn

Stuff I’ve been grappling with for a while, but @cags_grindrod has a gift for working these things through rationally
Lots to think about before next winter
