Bull

Is a bull a good way of keeping a meadow short? Its approximately 30 metres wide by 90 metres long. Also tidal water laps upto the grass when the bay fills at high tide. Will salt be a problem?

Have you got anything for the bull to do?

I would think sheep would be a better bet for keeping the grass down, but I have no idea on the salt problem.
Anything for it to do? Like jobs or activities to occupy him? I could walk him in the bay at low tide?! I dont want sheep as they need to have their hair cut. That would just be an extra job.

A simpler solution might be to buy a small S/H tractor and topper.
I dont really want to have to do the work. Plus along the edge of the bay is marshy. I think I have my heart set on a bull. I thought it when viewing the cottage! :rolleyes: just wondered if the salt would be a problem and if it would actually eat the grass

ah, thought I detected a bit of a language issue :) . You need to find an Anglesey farmer to lend you a placid Jersey bull (y) .
I want one of my own to look after. I wanted a red Angus but I spoke to a farmer who said he will sell me a brahman bull and he said they are better?
