Hi Belinda: If your soil fertility were higher than surrounding lands, you might be well advised to keep the fences to keep other animals out.

If they can't guess, my first hint is that the secies walks on two legs. It won't matter if your grass is greener or not, the animals will sense if it is more nutritious. If you attempt to improve your soil fertility, you want to get your animal's opinion in a small area of pasture before you invest a lot of money in enough of the amendment to do the whole farm.
