Just bought a house with alot of land.
At first, thought of a tractor for mowing at least 8 acres of grass.
After looking at what expenses are left after some "home maintence", a tractor will be out of the question this year.
But...
The 8 acres to be mowed actually is all eclosed by a barb wire fence. Even the driveway enterence and on our road and to our house has a "cattle crossing" gaurd.
My thoughts are turning to goats for eating the grass (indeed, I believe one previous owner used this area directly around his house for some livestock the way everything "is laid out".
There is a small barn in the fenced area to keep animals as well.
Any suggestions please?!
I would appreciate any feedback as to my thinking, and or any delimas that I may face.
If I'm not providing enough info, please ask.
Please keep in mind my wife and I are not farmers, she works full time at our home, and I'm on the road.
Thanks!
