When the family started in sheep, we got 6 lambs from a flock in Nebraska. They mowed a 5 ft wide swath. Only problem was it meandered all over the place in the yard ... not to the wife's satisfaction. frown I ended up mowing the yard anyway.

I've thought about electric fencing.
It'd probably be quicker
I might be too shaded for the solar option

No Mow May is going well so far. I don't like to mow, so almost any excuse not to mow is good.

We need rain to make the grass grow. They say it is coming and I have my fingers crossed.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I've been avoiding mowing in the late evening, and it's really helped. Once the grass is wet it wants to pile up and makes a mess of the mower.
