I have about 70 weanlings still out grazing and will have grass for them until around Christmas I estimate. 

Ground conditions have deteriorated in the past week, with more normal levels of rainfall, but I’ll manage okay as stock out are light and once I keep them moved every few days I won’t be too concerned with grazing residuals.
