Hi Rob,
  The less it is cut the more opportunity for undesirable plant growth
to get established. I have 4 acres that I cleared off solely by use of
goats and regular mowing. After just a couple of years we had a
wonderful pasture of mostly bermuda. Sadly we had to leave the state
for a couple of years and now I'm having to start over as sumac and
such has taken over. Hope this helps.
