    I need to reseed a paddock but need to get cows back grazing on it again as soon as possible. I was thinking of going this route....
    Spray with round up......leave about 10 days and graze ???? Not sure how cows will react to this brown grass !!!. Then plough, disc etc as usual. Hope to spray about 14 days after seeding.
    What is shortest number of days the paddock is out of action ?? That is from day cows leave until they come back to the new grass ????????

    Would chain harrowing be a good alternative to ploughing if the field did not need leveling?
    The chain harrow should break the surface enough to allow the seed to take and the field would recover much quicker.

    We followed the traditional route of ploughing and power harrowing a field last year (May), and it resulted in the top layer of soil being very loose when taking silage off it. Now the field was reclaimed bog (30 years ago), I'm sure clay land would give much different results.
