beach chick Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 we have a field. quite a big field, which I have to mow (on a ride-on mower, but still....). I would quite like some more animals - ideally to eat the grass - but I've kind of given up on alpacas and llamas on account of cost and fence height needed. sheep seem to get ill at the drop of a hat. I'm not interested in the mobile lawnmowers being productive, or breeding etc - just pets. would pygmy goats be any good? what are their pros and cons? I guess they need housing and electric fencing and food, but anything else to consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have 5 pygmy goats- they are a complete riot but goats are browsers,not grazers. They only eat long tough grass and weeds, if you need the grass eaten sheep would be better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
