Free ranging them all, all at once.

I'm starting to keyline. It'll take some time but I think I can get it going well.

with enough pasture , shaded areas or shelters there should be no trouble .at birthing time you will have to keep the animals separate from hogs .pigs will get into every thing so the place where you feed the chickens, goats , pigs , and cows .need to be set up to keep them from eating each others feed . which is a good idea if your pigs can be trained to come when called into a small pen and fed ; it makes handling them for worming butchering or breeding a bit easyer same with the dairy goats and beef cattle having them run into the milking barn and jump up on the stand to get there grain makes life a joy instead of a rodieo. big cattle that will follow a bucket into a loading shoot at butchering time sure beats the heck out of cowboying them . I know a few farmers who let there pigs free range with there cows and chickens no trouble . my last few beefs and hogs followed me right into the trailor when there time came .my old milk cow used to come a moo at my house on her way to the milking barn . I have a chain on my hen house door that only lets it open about 5 inches enough for the chickens ,but the cows can't get in . I have several hundred acres of rough hilly pastures most of the fences are barbed wire so I keep the pig in a lot but last year the excape artist pig stayed out most of the time hanging out with the cattle or under the rabbit shed .but she was another story same with my milk goat now she is kept in the barn lot due to my weak pasture fences but the bottle bay doe I often let out to follow me about like a dog like last years pig she gets along with the other livestock fine and never wanders far . god fences are a must for pigs and goats yet both easily learn about electric fences and a hot wire should be used for both of them

My property is really flat and dead. I had been thinking planting grass was going to be enough. Researching the subject a lot has led me to permaculture and keylining. I think I can make a big difference with that. So hopefully I'll have loads of trees and bushes and grasses in a few years. We shall see. I'm excited about it because it's not going to cost any money. lol Can move starts of our other plants and use our tractor to dig and build the berms. Exciting! So hopefully I'll have a great area soon.

I'd like to free range the pigs but it's sounding like a bit of a pain so I might just make them their own.

I have the opposite trouble with green wooded hillsides level spots are hard to find never thought of building a berm or trees for the livestock .
