[QUOTE="baybuzzard, post: 1782826, member: 42965"] Hello All, We own a small farm in the NE corridor. There are three fields that are interconnected, 2-3-4 acres respectively. bunch of clover and johnson grass on them, with some little blue stem too. There are 5 more acres of open land available to them, but it is a 'short' hike thru a muddy lane. We love the idea of having some animals out there, grazing, pooping, and rotating around. It is the practice that I am not sure I will love. I say I at the end, because I will be doing all of the work. But 'we' are making the decisions. So, let's make good, or at least well thought out decisions. There are no fences up, just stone wall. There is no pen or lean to. Lot's of shade around, and the soil sits around 6.5 ph. Loamy, clay, with high EC. Northeastern environment, so maybe alot like North Carolina soon;) I would be willing to build a small, care lean to, but dislike the idea of a full barn for animals to hang out in. These, ideally, would be 24/7/365, outdoor animals. Possibly, 'mini' cows, is a definite thought. We plan to punch a point well out in the fields, for farming, and the animals(cow, goats, chickens), whoever winds up being housed. This would be a lifestyle decision, not a monetary one. Cows will not be paying the bills, at least that is not the initial plan. So, there's land, time, and some motivation to do this :) Now, will someone please talk me out of this?!?! With that in mind, my membership here may be brief :O, or last for decades to come;) Only time will tell. We like cows, and hang out with them , but never owned them. bb[ATTACH type="full"]24928[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]24929[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]24930[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
