Summer Pasture

I feel so far behind.  The weather has not cooperated very well this year. Rain, rain & more rain.  We were all done with first cut haying last year at this time.  This year we are not even half done.  I haven't got my garden 100% planted yet either. I did give all the goats their summer haircuts and I did get summer fencing put up.  I moved my bucks out behind our house.  We let our back lawn grow up so they could have a place to graze. They like the fresh green grass & I like saving hay. Not to mention it cuts down on lugging hay. I don't feed my bucks grain in the summer, they don't need it.

Here they are happily grazing.

Here are Vigilante & Aonghas happy to have some green grass.

I used the electric netting fence from Premier1.  It is portable & easy to set up, take down or move to a new location. I like the shorter fence but this year it was on back order so I purchased the 42" which I do not like as well because it sags more. For what it is I will deal with it. I now have 5 sections of fence that are 164' long, enough to make three separate grazing pastures.
