We have a little 10ac trap that tends to get overgrown pretty quickly. We'll turn our roping steers in there, and withing a week they have it mowed down. All the poison ivy is stripped off the trees to about 5' high...LOL. If they can reach it, they will eat it!

I cant wait to do this again in a few years, great job. When I was single and 25 yrs old I bought 118.92/acres SW of Rocksprings, had power put on it and built a nice cabin. There was a well across the road that the rancher said I could use so I did. Well about 7 yrs into owning the property I was offered an amount of money I couldn't refuse (double the purchase price I paid for it) and sold it. Wish now I still had it. DREAM on with your new land...

As far as a tractor goes, when I started clearing my 11 acre place in east Texas I started out with a 2wd tractor. After a couple of years I upgraded to a new 4wd with a loader. Now 15 years later the tractor is still going strong and I still use the loader all the time. What I like best is I can stack about 8-10 sacks of corn in the loader and lift it right up to the feeder to fill.

Any ideas on those white markings on a few of those hogs?
Thanks for all of this great info! Hopefully around spring I will be able to start looking into a tractor - probably something very affordable like a 9n (or something similar, that has a 3pt).
Does sharpening your saw chain typically hold an edge well, or does it dull out really quick?
