What to do with grass keep?

Hopefully going to have 10 acres of grass keep next April and going to take the hay off in June for our horses.

What's best to do with it for the rest of the year?

We're housing 3 angus heifers over the winter just to eat off a bit of left over silage but they'll be fit to go next easter. And we sometimes have 3 or 4 lambs in our paddock just for our own freezer.

All of these would look lost on 10 acres. So just wondering peoples opinions on what to have between July and November

Buy in some store lambs? Get them fit and gone as you can. Not guaranteed a return. But don't buy too many and they won't exactly cost big money either if they don't need feed etc.
