    Hi Ricardo

    I think you're referring to the blog that I started a couple months back asking for more "stories" from other members on their silvopasture experiences and projects in other parts of the US and world?

    Hi Brett,
    Thanks! Unfortunately the town council said "no" to our proposal:

    https://lowtechinstitute.org/2018/10/01/proposal-for-community-flock/

    They cited worries about cars hitting the sheep if they got out, but I think it was political (the person with the mowing contract has connections to the council).

    Brett just wanted to give you a follow up on my progress. I have dismantled my brush piles into slash surrounding some clearings I wanted to grow some grass. Summer was too hot and dry in Texas so I didn't get much accomplished. Well now I have finished and planted some ryegrass which is coming up nicely. Spring hope to plant bahia seed or bermuda. I can't thank you enough for your suggestion and I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. Also burn ban lifted last week so smaller brush piles were set which has improved the look of the property.
