Out to Pasture

We have a new pasture for the goats near the horses,  they plow through pasture so each year we fence a new one -

Pastures are managed better when you can keep animals off of it for a time to allow grazed pasture to replenish itself

in this photo, the goats are on the horse pasture.  Goats are excellent and clearing brush and other plants that horses do not eat.

However, buttercup - the yellow flower - needs to be brush hog because neither animal eats it.
we brush hog in sections so the horses still have uncut sections to graze.  This pasture here is 10 acres. Quite a lot for 6 horses and one pony.
