Why Should You Bush Hog a Pasture?
Sure, goats and other animals can graze pastures with weeds and bushes, but good quality grass can only be obtained if you brush the pasture. You want to maximize grass yield.
Plus, it’s also possible that your pasture will see trees growing on it, a young forest starting to develop. Then it’s even harder to clear it…
A plethora of wild edibles often grow in pastures, so forage away, then set the mowing deck to a medium to high level, and cut down only the undesirable growth.
By brush hogging the land you prevent unwanted growth from sucking up all the nutrients you need to go towards quality grass development.
Brush hog once or twice a year to maintain an established field is required when developing a pasture or hay field.
