Useful for us, and useful for others too!
Finally, I've got something useful to lend to some of my neighbors! Yeah, you've probably seen me borrow front-end loaders, bobcats, and all sorts of heavy machinery from some of my neighbors. Now, it's payback time!
PAYBACK TIME - WHO WANTS TO BORROW A GRASS-POWERED LAWNMOWER?
PROPER PROPERTY MAINTENANCE WITH ANIMALS
First off, these animals are not pets here on our homestead. We have our animals for specific reasons. As far as our sheep and goats are concerned, they are basically grass-powered edible lawnmowers that will hopefully provide us with wool, milk, manure, meat, hides, and also more sheep and goats. While we wait for them to grow and reproduce, they help "tame" the woods and trim the fields.
Yesterday we took three of our goats over to one neighbor and two of our sheep to another. This overgrown pen in the photo above is one example of a great "job" for some of these animals. If the animals eat down the plants, then that is a lot less effort that someone had to invest with a weed trimmer and it is also more cost effective than buying gas for a lawnmower.
Rico and Dave Ramsey were eager to help clear the pen. I'm not sure how many days it'll take them to tidy this place up, but we'll be keeping an eye on them. The two sheep were given this job, and the three goats will be keeping some grass pathways in a garden mowed.
Of course, being goats, they'll also trim a few other things like the low hanging branches on this tree. For us, it was one good way to be able to bless some of the neighbors that have been a blessing to us!

Ha ha, your little lawnmower actually looks happy to be picked up. Maybe it's because of its coloring, but it looks very content. :P

That baby's bleat is adorable. I would probably get annoyed by it after a while, but it's cute.
The mother won't charge you for getting too close, will she?

AWESOME to help your neighbors!! Lending a hand is the best way. I'm sure they appreciated the grass-eating lawnmowers' work!
We had a goat many years ago... he was abandoned and just showed up at our door one day. We had two dogs at the time also and the goat (we named Oliver) thought he was a dog too. I'd call for the dogs to come eat and Oliver would run right alongside them... we even bought him a collar and little bell to wear. I miss that goat

I’ve lost track a while ago how many animals you are now up to! You are starting to have a zoo on your hands over there. I can’t wait to see the fruits of your labor and what you do with the wool and hides. I'm sure that alone will be quite a learning experience for many.

Free lawn mowers and manure too! I'd say that was a pretty good deal for everyone! They won't take too long to clean up the high grasses and weeds!
