Neighborly Cows

Good neighbors have good fences, but also open them up for sharing the pasture. (Take that, Garret Hardin!)I prefer bringing in sheep to graze because their light weight doesn't create compaction the way these charismatic megafauna do, but the short turn-around time for grazing before seeding necessitated animals who could clear the cover crop quickly. Also, cow manure is more wet than sheep manure and has a good carbon-nitrogen ratio for immediate use.Thanks, cows!signal-2018-02-15-104526 signal-2018-02-15-103812-1
