Just curious, kola--what is a 'big pasture' in your country?
First off my country is not flat nor level.
Here on this farm,it is bisected by 2 large creeks that you can not cross with a tractor. Plus, numerous feeder creeks and boggy spots or ' seeps'
All the pastures are terraced, kinda like rice paddies!! :lol: :lol: Esp. right now!! :lol: :lol:
I have found out what we call 'creeks' here, you guys call 'rivers' there!!! :lol: :lol: Once I was helping a friend fix a water gap. I said something about " this creek sure is cold"...well 'this creek' turned out to be the Judith River, the headwaters of course but the MT folks were calling it a river. I laffed, they got mad, and said here that " river" was equal to a creek, or ' crik' in Montana-ese!!
My big pastures on my the homeplace are about 30 acres each in size....I have many more less than that, 20-10 each thereabouts.
Here you can't have BIG pastures, the terrain won't allow it. Plus there's so many trees it's not money worthy to spend the $$$$ to turn any land into pasture.
