So I am really interested in silvopasture. It is a necessity for me. I only have 1/4 acre of open paddock for my animals. I started with
chickens. I am adding some runner ducks soon. I just finished fencing 2 acres of heavily wooded lot. What would be my best next animal to add? I am torn between goat to clean up young growth
trees, or pig to
root up the ground for more planting. About one acre of the wooded lot is planted with clover to add some green come spring. My end goal is to
fence another 4 acres and raise 2 pigs and one small breed cow every year for personal meat for my family and parents and inlaws. I am not trying to make money off my little hobby farm, just provide some food for my loved ones. I just don't know the next step in transitioning my wooded lot into useful pasture.
