ericlb,
Funny you should mention the alien thing. My mom's family has ranches out where that supposedly happened, but I never heard anything about it until the 1990's. FYI, our farm was in line with the long runway at Walker AFB and I remember B-52s coming and going almost 24 hrs a day. Think they closed it down in 1966 or 1967 and later sold it to the city.

Do you live in Hondo valley?
 
Grew up in Athens/Washington Co in SE OH, Now in the upper point of Bavaria in Germany working for the Army . Bought our old farm place 10 years ago and raise Quarter Horses.

Wish you were closer - But as an attorney, is it feasible to negoitate with my wife and daughter about 5 horses/ponies on 5 acres or should I just just let the yard go to hay and store in the garage?
Just kiddin as they might want to "negoiate about the tractors!
 
Good luck! In my experience (wife and daughter), "resistance is futile". I do a lot better with boundary disputes.
