[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1795176, member: 39018"] I run quite a few, and have VERY little woods... across about 350 acres, there might be 8-10 acres that's thinly wooded... and that's in three separate areas. But the way I've got my farm fenced/subdivided, I can get them to some woods anytime I might want to. I close the access to it if they don't need the shade, so it can have some "R&R time". My point about the portable shade is, IF you put it out there, they WILL congregate underneath it, even if they really don't NEED it. And the grass underneath it will be stomped to nothing. ANYTHING you put out there seems to always become a congregating area... park an old running gear out there, and I guarantee they'll gather around it and the grass there will be stomped to death... with no logical reason for that congregating. It's like fish with cover I guess. Good friend of mine tried some portables... they let him use it on demo... he didn't buy it, didn't want it at all after trying it. I'd see if you could do that, or try renting one maybe for a bit... good way to see if you're gonna still feel it's worth the investment. [/QUOTE]
