New Pasture Creation for a newbie

Hello all! this is my first time here and im so glad to have found such a wonderful resource. My family and I just moved onto 7 acres about a month ago. The property is about 6 acres of heavily wooded trees. We are working with a friend (logger) to cut down and remove the stumps of most of the trees because our goal is to create pasture so we can have cows and goats. My main question is what is the best way to establish new pasture and how do i manage the existing weeds that will surely come up. We want to really nurture the soil and aren't planning to get any animals until next year. We currently have chickens that i hope to let roam the land once the trees are done being cleared to apply some manure. We won't be cutting all the trees down, we will be leaving a good amount of them behind to create more of a silvopasture.

Samantha, welcome to the forum!

While you are clearing the land for a new pasture be sure to leave some big trees to give some shade for the goats and cows.

Knowing what part of the world you are in might help with grass recommendations for the pasture.  We have folks from all over the world that will love to chime in when they find out you are in their country of state.

I would suggest using native grass for your area.

You might be able to find native pasture mixes at your local feed store or seed company.
