Now the weed cedars are so thick, the rabbits need a chainsaw to get through. The only time you see them used as a fence here, is as a decorative one. I have been trying to reclaim some of the pasture a little at a time - one of these days I'll get it done.
*EDIT* I guess there IS a 4th use - my goats LOVE to eat them! |
Not only that, but they are a fire hazard. My place has a lot of them .... named the farm Cedar Crest. But I thin them considerably, especially close to the house.
