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. I ended up mowing the yard anyway.

Aje you may want to look into the polly electric goat fencing. I have been using it foe years and it is great and you can fence a lot bigger area that 4 cattel or got panels.

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'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.

Something like these?

For what they cost, you could buy hay for the rest of your life, lol

We've all seen the lawns where the soil is so dead that it's just a bunch of sorry, overgrown crabgrass. But give it some time and let the coneflower, goldenrod, and bee balm start coming up and I can't wrap my head around what part of letting God's creation a little closer to your home offends you so much. I mow 10 feet from the house to keep snakes and bugs away and that's it, but part of what makes this country great is that we can make those choices for our own homes. Exercising that freedom doesn't sound very socialist to me!
