We are on 5 acres, and have fences everywhere so we can rotate grazing (of course, we still don't have both shade _and_ water in most of the paddocks, so it's still a mess...) We bucket trained our cattle to make moving them easier - it's not foolproof, but it does work most of the time, and 1 person can move the animals alone if *really* necessary. We don't even need feed in the buckets now. On the down side, I do get trampled every time I take a bucket of feed to the chooks....Sonianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-5453877800340559342012-02-02T15:59:19.219+10:002012-02-02T15:59:19.219+10:00Great neighbours - and great stick figures Fiona!Great neighbours - and great stick figures Fiona!duchess_declutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763062839151537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-43899809411805208972012-02-02T14:41:00.229+10:002012-02-02T14:41:00.229+10:00Sounds like a great little adventure...i really ho...Sounds like a great little adventure...i really hope they come back easier for you!!<br />We have 8 acres we have to slash soon as the grass is jumping out of the ground now...shame we don't have neighbours like yours!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586610467519318424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-20388301425547406762012-02-02T11:13:28.417+10:002012-02-02T11:13:28.417+10:00Isn't it great to see neighbours working toget...Isn't it great to see neighbours working together!

At one stage we only had one lonely poddy and he got out twice before we realised that he needed a friend (and droppers on the fence wires between the posts) to keep him at home. Both escapes involved chasing him up and down the relatively busy road, worried that he's take off down to the highway! You don't realise when they're little how difficult they can be when they get big and don't want to do what you say. Its not like you can just put a collar and leash on them and walk them down the road.<br /><br />And I wanted to say what great neighbours you have! Separately you probably don't have quite enough land, but together you can make it work, that's really nice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.com
