    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    I have kept that in mind but frankly, I'm not worried. If I were to keep them here in town there would only be two houses with dogs (not including my own but all of my dogs have been exposed to sheep) and two of the three dogs in question have been exposed to sheep and are fine with them. The...

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    The entire lot is just over 6,000 square feet, less than a quarter acre. Right now I have three dogs, two rabbits and four hens who use the backyard but I don't have any grass back there. I'm going to redo everything this spring and put in gravel and new fencing and then rearrange some things so...

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    Yeah we do have a lot of issues, coyotes more so than wolves. Where I'm looking at keeping them there hasn't had much of an issue so far. The sheep will be taken off site to elementary schools. A couple of the schools have Focus Friday's where kids learn about a specific topic and get to...

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    Sorry forgot to include that! I'm in southwestern Idaho. Exactly, that's why I didn't think that was such a good price to pull an estimate from. Good idea about the vacant lots though, sort of like the rent-a-goat groups. The one place I did find was half an hour away and I can't make that work.

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    Thanks! No HOA rules, just a backyard that's far too small for them long term. Although I've thought about rotational grazing through my neighbor's yards that don't use pesticides. But even then I don't think they'd be too happy in my yard. I'm planning on getting bottle babies and then once I...

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    I'm not raising them for meat, they'll be teaching sheep for an educational program I'm starting. Not a bad idea if I was better about not getting so attached to everything I see haha.

    Renting Pasture for Sheep

    What is a fair price for pasture rental? I'll be needing a spot for three sheep and haven't had a lot of luck so far but to be honest I don't know what's fair. I'd be supplying their feed, water trough and taking care of them. In my area people generally ask $150 a month to board a horse and...
