Response to hay field

We let our neighbor rotate his three horses through our pastures so he can rest his own few acres since we do not have any grazing animals at this time and I like keeping the grass down so I don't get snakes and other unwanted guests in my backyard. But, since horses are picky about what they are eating and I did have areas of brush type growth rather than grass, I was interested in rejuvenating my pastures so when I was ready to get sheep I would have nice pastures. I read somewhere that mowing helps the grass overcome the weeds so now in the spring I mow the pastures with my garden lawn mower and the grass is coming in very nicely. It has definitely improved the pasture and it only cost me the price of the gas and a few hours of work.
