We have a field at the back of the house and I've been thinking about getting two small cattle to graze.
Research tells me that the Dexter breed is small and friendly. And owning grazing animals gets over the problem of having overgrown grass.
The down side, of course, is that if you have beef cattle you will probably become attached to them and not want them to become meat when the time comes.
The alternative would be to have dairy cattle but I can't see me in wellingtons and a nightie out milking at 6am every day!
But since getting the rabbit and watching her graze her little patches of grass, I can see the sense in having grazing animals.
Only problem is, my hubby doesn't want to know. Anyone got any experience of smallholdings?
