Geese are good grass cutters I hear and added security with the noise they make and their beaks able to do such damage

Borrow a friend's pony as I do.

Goats btw will eat everything, including trees, shrubs and your washing.

If it's grass only then sheep or geese would probably be better. If it's to keep s/brambles etc down then goats would be best. Goats will eat bark of trees, and eat shrubs to the ground though. And they are good at escaping

You'd need 10,000 hens to keep 1/2 an acre down!

Once cut a cemetarys grass, was a very old part of the grounds, grass was higher than the head stones, strimmers do the job ( petrol ) and hard graft

BTW Mr OP, you do know looking after these damned creatures, will take longer than just whizzing round the grass with a petrol mower don't you?

Fixing fences, sheds, injections, escapees etc etc.

I'd advise buying a sit-on mower. Fun and no smelly creatures to look after

For many years some friends of ours kept two sheep, who, though different every year, were always named Qualcast and Flymo.

Goats are twats (yes this is a scientific term) and need very good fencing. Geese are even bigger twats, but easier to kill than goats.

Sheep are good for that job, although it depends how big the area is. You can stock roughly 3 sheep/acre in summer and 1 sheep/acre in winter without buying in feed. If it's less area than that, you'll need to feed hay and some nuts in winter.

You can't keep one sheep, I would say three minumum.

Horses are ok, but they don't graze neatly, need to be prevented from overgrazing in the summer and all their crap needs to be picked up because it ruins your pasture.

At present you can't keep fowl outdoors free ranging where they may come into contact with wild birds, wild bird faeces, share food and/or water with wild birds or be in contact with pests such as rodents. Defra has imposed restrictions due to avian flu spreading through Europe.

Why not ask a local farmer if they'd like there animals to graze on your grass.. Then you don't need to buy said animal and the farmer looks after said animals welfare
