I/we had 2 horses and 5 acres of pasture - they'd keep patches of it close while other sections grew long enough to require mowing now and again (they don't like fescue - out pasture is a mix of fescue and...something else I don't recall). Now we have the original 2 quarter horses and a Percheron that was acquired/rescued 3 months ago. He was "donated" to the local university veterinarian school where my wife works. This meant he was almost certain to be euthanized after a little educational use by veterinarian students. We couldn't have that. We are hoping that this third horse wont overstress the pasture come spring and summer. > I keep a few goats - cashmeres, saanens and alpines. > > The place is blessed with a few dozen wild turkeys. Sound wonderful. No turkeys here (unfortunately - though we do see them around in the more forested portions of Indiana) but we have hawks, falcons, bald eagles, golden eagles, jack-rabbits, and my personal favorite, coyotes. The stench from the hog farm down the road wafts this way which gives me a "hazy perspective" but for entirely different reasons, I think, than your place does for you ;) - -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - - Friedrich Nietzsche. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+N/k51i/6R1B/Yh0RArdAAJ9Rp/V0Zq4qEFP9PIepnfo/AQLX4gCfcsoG nS4LdRgbplVbaNuTUoya/W0= =j03t -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
