FREE - grazing for goats on 25 fenced acres - N of Austin
Free grazing for goats on 25 fenced acres. A friend of ours
wants to remove some of the grass & small brush from his 25 acres near Briggs. He has a nice tract of 25 acres that is completely fenced. It has water as well. If you have some goats or llamas that you want to park for a few weeks, etc. then do this: 1. Call Don at 512-489-2557. He owns and lives on the 25 acres near Briggs, TX 78608. 2. "Do Not" eMail me - I have told you everything I know. (Your eMail will not be returned, as my filter zaps all of them.) |

I see you have never owned livestock! Sheesh! K. Shesh, Katra, I see you are humour-impaired today (you're probably trying to defend someone, I figure, who I hope aanages to chuckle back rather...) Mine was not a complaint, I shared a chuckle it caused! and regarding lifestock, no, I didn't own the cows (we fertilized artificially) nor the horses we rode to round them up... if I could I'd share the fun of watching the purple martins practicing aerial aerobatics outside the window to get you to "feel better"... -- /"\ ASCII... ._. || \ / on Usenet /v\ ||"Don't worry about the world ending today, X ANYTHING ELSE /( )\ || it's already tomorrow in Australia." / \ IS BLOAT !! ^^ ^^ || -- Charles Schultz |

I've seen it swing both ways: I have a friend who rents out her goats
and llamas to folks up and down her road; and I have other friends who lease out their pasturage to maintain their ag exemptions.

I'm not sure which catagory llamas fall into but since they're a member of the camel family and genetically programed to get as much moisture as they can, roots have the most reserves of moisture so I'd say no to them to, but I could be wrong. Also, bad grazing can leave all the bad plants, mesquite, cactus etc and nub down to nothing all the good soft grasses. You might want to check into several people in the Hill country(websites) who've been fighting to bring back the hill country natural grasses back to their original time, and have been rewarded with streams flowing again, springs popping up where they have been dormant for 100 years, game animals moving in, migratory birds etc. First clue, is to get rid of all the cedar. Remember, there is a reason why Mexico looks like Mexico. Goats and bad farming practices. Good luck. -- ---Mapanari--- |

People pay good money for grazing leases. I see you have never owned livestock! Sheesh! K. Sheeesh. I see you don't understand the economics of trailoring in a herd of cows just for 25 acres or so, waiting around, then rustling them back onto the lowboy and back home. You might want to check into the ratio of per/animal to acre/yield = how many you can graze. It's surprisingly high, meaning, you need a lot of acres for just a few animals....hence the western range wars even though they (ranches) had millions of acres of grassland. -- ---Mapanari--- |

: and I have other friends who lease out their pasturage to maintain their ag exemptions. NOW you hit the nail on the head. I don't think people realize the billions of dollars in tax money stolen by the filthy rich by putting a few cows or ducks on their property (like Dan Rather) and then paying no taxes on the land hardly at all, while the rest of us pay full taxes. They can even declare agri land in the middle of a city and pay no school taxes!!!! Then, don't get me started on Conservation Easments... -- ---Mapanari--- |

Uh, goats are terrible for grazing. They pull grasses up by the roots to eat instead of cropping the grass like cows and other rudiments. Nothing surpasses goats when you are trying to get rid of brush, particularly poison ivy. If you look at the middle east, Korea, Africa, the Greek Islands and many places that used to forested and grassy, the single cause of devestation has been people, with their goats. And that is called over grazing, which has nothing to do with getting rid of brush and some grasses. I'm not sure which catagory llamas fall into but since they're a member of the camel family and genetically programed to get as much moisture as they can, roots have the most reserves of moisture so I'd say no to them to, but I could be wrong.

You've got to be kidding...exemptions aren't easy to get nor easy to
maintain without a lot of work and money. That the rich folk happen to have the land AND the money to maintain the exemptions is your problem. We, all of us, get something out of those exemptions...even if it is a cheaper burger at McDonalds. How did you find your way back in this newsgroup anyway? Go back and bug the .general newsgroups...us gardeners have plenty of bugs anyway and we prefer our weed torches to be the main "flames" of the day! John "Mapanari" wrote in message . ..

Just killfile him.
Seriously, he craves attention (like a two-year old) and the best way to deal with his antics is to ignore him completely by blocking his posts. If everybody did it, he would eventually go away. Or, if not, at least nobody would see his inane ramblings and streams of off-topic postings. Also, unfortunately, if you respond to him -- it only encourages him. So he makes even more silly posts, hoping for additional attention. So, again, I suggest just blocking him. I have him killfiled on every machine with Internet access and (big happy smile) it means I won't even see the lame post Mapi will attempt make in response to this one. I am sorry that Mapi has come to bother your group again. Maybe enough of us have killfiled him in austin.forsale that he got lonesome. May your garden grow well with all this rain! My grass has grown to the point where a grazing goat might not be a bad idea. ;-) "John T. Jarrett" wrote in message ...

Babbling self-centered stumbling reject from an experiment at UT Pysch lab on applied electro-shock therapy gone horribly wrong....it was x posted to ausgarden which I didn't see...by the original idiot poster who thought xposting it everywhere was cool. I think I'll change my name daily just to bother you and you can wander around the net, pleading tearfully, clutching your arms to your fat chest, whining plaintivly "Oh woe is me! Oh mapi is ****ing me! He says things I don't like and I need confirmation by trying to get everyone to kf him to make myself feel validated! Oh woe, oh woe!" Very mythologically pathos-ridden whining I must say. Kind of sad for someone of your age. -- ---Mapanari--- |

Goats are not as destructive as you think if they are managed properly. Really. K. You have a point...but what 3rd world ******** dweller ever thinks "I have too many goats!"? Also, a very few goats left indefinetly in one area will destroy it. There is also the problem of the cloven hoofs and such; flat footed herbavors (sp?) don't cut up the ground and destroy it after a rain. Goats will also destroy trees, being very much like deer except that goats will eat more woody stuff than deer will and will gnaw off branches and whole young trees down to the stub. Deer only do that when really hungry, and a case can be made for deer as they encourage tree growth at the top and canopy by eating all the little tender sucker shoots they can reach, which can be as high at 10'! Goats will just gnaw that sucker down if left too long in a certain area. They're also noisy~! So there! s I hate goats. I've been to too many places all around the world and have seen the destruction that goats and overgrazing have caused. Goats are the poor man's cow but they hurt the indigenous people in the long run. But, until we have a pandemic and get rid of 5 billion people and let the natural predators come back goats are going to continue turning savanas, forests and farmland into deserts. Lets hear is for bringing back mountain lions in Austin~! Get rid of those damn cats running around, stupid and slow children and goats and deer! Wouldn't that be liberally politically correct? The "natural" way of mother Gaia? -- ---Mapanari--- |

So Mapanari is posting only to austin.forsale and he will not see this post as it is only in austin.gardening. If you feel like you just HAVE to post to two newsgroups then do it separately and then you can monitor each of them separately. It just takes a little effort on the part of the original poster. Also, watch your responses to cross posted messages. If you only read Austin.gardening then restrict your responses to only that newsgroup. Just check the header information in your news browser before you respond and cut out the other newsgroup - in this case Austin.forsale. Rusty Mase |
