20. Goats are great....BUT
Edited on Sun Jun-19-11 01:26 PM by Dover
if pasturing is not managed well, they can leave your land looking like a moonscape with all kinds
of repercussions to your goal of sustainability. Rotating pastures is just one solution (with serious attention to strong fences), as well as keeping the proper number of animals for your land size.

So be sure to consider and/or get fully educated about how each of your endeavors impacts the big picture and works holistically. That is the primary lesson of sustainable living practice.
