We maintain our fields with machinery, hand labor, and livestock. To start we manage the field with machinery. We avoid putting the cattle in the fields early because they can pull the agave out. Once the agave is too big for a machine to go in the field then it maintained by hand labor and livestock. Sheep and livestock that eat the grasses that grow around the agave. The agave has very pointed ends of the leaves, so when the animals can not reach the base of the agave, we step in and clean it up. By working together with nature we are creating an organic and environmentally safe ecosystem.
