keep a few lbs in a container in case you need it
in the future. otherwise, yep, spread it around,
calcium and sulfur are usually appreciated by plants.
if the topsoil has been grazed and animals removed
then it probably wouldn't hurt at all.

They're moving to the north pastures in a couple of days for the month of June. I can spread the gypsum on the south pastures in early June and the rains should wash it in by the time I move them back in July.
