I own two lots in Colorado:
144 Olympic Cir, 234
Hartsel, CO 80449, US
MLS # S386096
$3,999
and
2426 Arapahoe Trl, 232 & 234
Hartsel, CO 80449, US
MLS # S386097
$9,999
I purchased it as investment property years ago and now I want to get rid of it.
If someone wants to least the land for 100 bucks a year for up to 20 years contact me. You will be responsible for taxes and fees (about 300-400 bucks a year per property).
I have the property I want and I'm not interested in making money off the land anymore. The land is part of a recreational community. http://wildwoodrec.org/
any questions you can post them here or send me a pm.
Thanks,
Damian

Well, sure. But only for a couple minutes.
So turn off the pump.
Open the faucets. Inside, outside, wherever. The pressure tank will push out all the water it has.
Now you're ready. Cut your pipe apart. It will dribble out whatever water is right there in that section of the pipe, but it won't be pumping since the pump is off, and it won't be spraying since the pressure tank is deflated.
Reconnect and repressurize.

I get the expense. I'd been feeding my birds for ages. Then I finally just decided to start letting them out. Feed costs dropped dramatically. Try it!

I figure purchasing a tractor, cutter, rake and baler would be horribly expensive (let me know if I'm wrong on this). So I'm looking for alternative. Scything is out of the question as we are middle aged and the though of spending a week of cutting, raking and baling by hand makes me faint.
Opinions welcomed.
Thanks,
Onyx.
Hallo,
Is there a opportunity to rent these machines in your area?
Regards,

Every area has their own traditions but 60/40 (60% going to them) is a typical split of the hay. If you don't have any neighbors that you know or trust, try asking around at the local tractor place or looking around social media (lots of our local hay guys advertise on FB, including for cutting services). This can backfire sometimes - it's often easier said than done, and you can get caught up in the equipment problems of others, and their own fields take priority.

1. Are there any farmers in the area that make hay? If so check what it would cost for them to make bales for you on your own land. Large bales are cheaper than small balles (this year I got small bales at $1 a bale)
2. What would it take to fence some or all of that land? I'm f you fence it you can have cattle in it later into the year decreasing your feed costs. I think it is Greg Judy that does a lot of this type of cattle raising. I would really look at it. I have also listened to a podcast where a person in Alberta was letting his cattle eat grass all winter long (and some large bales) so it should be possible for most people to figure out a way to do it.
Honestly I would look at a combination of these 2 methods to extend your grazing period reducing your cost of feed.
