Hello!

I live on acreage and have been considering getting a larger farm animal to graze in the yard to keep the grass down. Would anyone have recommendations, pros/cons of getting a cow, goat or sheep?

  • Cows need a lot of water and a lot of food so just something to consider in the number and access to water. We are looking into getting a handful of smaller breeds of cow and a couple of doorpa sheep (super chill and don’t require sheering).


  • Goats will eat almost everything so they’re good at clearing weeds and grass etc but some can be a nightmare to keep contained. I’d choose cows


  • Goats are a massive headache, such escape artists. Sheep will destroy any grass growing in your padfocks. I’d choose cows
