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!
