[QUOTE="Bez, post: 49896, member: 412"] Well, I do not usually start a topic, but something happened this morning that made me wonder a bit. Despite living in a rather populated part of the world, we live in an isolated piece - the lane is about 1/4 mile long, and there are no houses to be seen from any part of our land. Because we run quite a few cattle, the lane is always gated - we are not anit-social, just concious of what can happen if the animals get out. So when neighbours visit they always have to open the gate and then close it behind them. Because we have this set up, we often allow certain animals to roam the yard freely. As I write, the horses are grazing on the front lawn. Nothing unusual for us. But a couple of neighbours dropped by for early coffee this morning and expressed astonishment that we would allow them to eat the grass right up to the house. In fact they fo a fine job of trimming the grass and the lawn does look pretty good - even the neighbours agreed. We also ran a couple of heifers onto the lawn today so we could transfer them from one field to another - with a short stop at the chute and squeeze so wife and I could take off their horn weights. Actually, this is when the neighbours arrived, so we all stopped for a visit while all the horses and heifers grazed the lawn. Lots of raised eyebrows. :D So I guess my question would be: Do any of you folks have "unusual practises" (In ag please!) :D that work for you - but cause the neighbours to raise their eyebrows? Just wondering, Bez [/QUOTE]
