Northern Michigander here! We are have 38 acres, 8 is open and the rest wooded. We are getting 2) 7 month highland heifer and 1) 16 month highland heifer end of September. We have planted 3 acres of pasture mix (alfalfa, Timothy, orchard, clover, red clover). Working on the fencing- going with T posts with 2 wire and 47" red brand woven fence until we get a permanent layout. Water sources are set up, and looking to rotational graze come spring. Will these gals eat our autumn olives!! Can we let them out of fenced areas to graze for a bit supervised and put them back in? Any pointers? Lay out suggestions- especially the fence? We want to cut all the saplings around the barn for shaded grazing.

Will get a bull to multiply when ready. Meat is the purpose

14 egg laying chickens and family garden established.

we have been working on cleaning the barn out- years of neglect!- We arent sure the best way to utilize it yet
