Where I want my chook and duck barns to go, is thick grass and weeds, almost higher than me. We do have a tractor with a slasher but the blades need sharpening and my husband is not going to do it before he goes away next week. And knowing I want the paddock for more animals, he won't be in a hurry to slash it for me, and I haven't learnt how to use the tractor. Grass is too long for an ordinary mower.
So, I was wondering if you farmies know if sheep or goats would enjoy mowing it down for me? Even if it is weedy and taller than they are?
If you can give me a yes for them to go in this paddock, what are they like as far as trying to go through fencing? The paddock is fenced with strand wire. Should I go around the fence with some mesh to keep them in or would they not try to get out?
