Actually, I'd prefer a goat to a cow for "environmentally friendly grass clipper." Plus with any luck at all, maybe a goat could help me with the poison ivy problem that is proliferating along the margins of my property.
But it's all a pipe dream... unless I move to new digs in a more rural setting! Where I live now, I'm not zoned for farm animals of any description. Unfortunately. :^)
Does Massachusetts still have rural settings? Last time I drove through a couple decades ago, it seemed to be all cities, towns, and traffic circles. Maybe Vermont is still green.
