Can you guess what it is going to cost to cut grass this year...... when you need to cut twice a week .... My 4500P takes 3 hours to cut without trimming so at 5.00 @ gal. thats 15.00 twice a week. I may have to change how much I cut and how often...
The war will and did raise the prices here all ready and now a refinery blows up down south, that should send it through the roof..... Jim

In our area coyotes would like to see more sheep 🙄


By the way, I once visited a guy who had sheep and was living on an island - his yard was full of sheep poop and you really had to watch your step outside.....

That did not work out well for Clarkson.

In my area the coyotes would just LOVE a change in their diet - to sheep. Pocket gophers and mice tend to get stuck in their teeth.

Well heck, just trade your tractor/mower for an electric!

I think I would embrace a change from city life to country life. Cut your grass three times a year. Your country animals will really appreciate this.

That’s what Australian shepherds and border collies are for. My sons raised 4H lambs and our Australian shepherd used to herd the lambs and chase the coyotes.

I think mine is broken. He sees coyotes and he just watches them. He would rather chase his frisbee. Now the corgi, I have seen chase a mama moose with her calf. He backs down from nothing.
