i have to agree with most responses here. people just hear a price for the dozing and don't factor in costs of hauling in dirt. you live on dirt, you haul in rock, you live on rock (HA) you haul in dirt. i just finished fencing my 3 acres and because of the spaghetti lots, even doing it yourself, fairly expensive. remember that is 90 posts each side! at 10-15 a post. renting the rock drill is 180 and each time we got maybe 30 posts, then the fencing. then the cost of the dr. and physical therapist (LOL), then the hurricane dropping trees from neighbors lots unto the new fence, etc. etc. can be done, just maybe start small see if it is what you want. if you really want pasture, it might be cheaper in the long run to buy pasture land. as far as lime, if you use cinder, plan on lime. and with our rain, i lime quite frequently anyway. bei or garden exchange would be your best bet for 50 pound bags.
