Why aren't the horses doing that? ;-) When our family had a horse farm up in
Pepperell, MA, I don't recall ever having to cut the grass in the paddocks.
The other areas grew long on purpose, and we only cut twice/year for hay.

A friend in a "rural" area had about 3 acres of grass.
2 goats kept it trimmed.
Don't remember the details. Might have been more or less acreage,
and maybe it was camels.
But there were 2 of them.
