[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 6668784, member: 441"] Welcome. Exciting times! Barking mad? Certainly. Join the club? Pigs will clear just about anything up to small trees given enough grazing pressure. Fence them into small areas at a time and move them on when they've made sufficient impact. You will need to supplementary feed them to get maximum impact however. Get them electric fence trained and they are useful tools! Cows or sheep? Sheep probably easier handling, but I find cattle much easier to control behind an electric fence, and easier to get impact with mob grazing. Downside of cattle will be coping with Dartmoor winter rainfall on wet, steeper ground. [/QUOTE]
