Yes, you are my Go-To Gal for goats. I think he wants them mainly for pasture mowing more than anything. Let’s see how he does as a ‘Chicken Daddy’ first, LOL!

Trust me they will not mow anything.

When I went to the garden store yesterday. I found a new-to-me plant called moneywort. It had small yellow flowers and variegated leaves. It said it was a perennial and good for zones 5-9, needs 3-6 hours of sunlight.

Does anyone have experience with this plant? I bought one (Proven Winners) just to give it a try.

Suggestions or recommendations appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sheep are better for mowing. They’re grazers while goats are browsers.

Won’t hardly touch fescue. They like clover and alfalfa. They’ll eat a little broad leaf grass. They’re eat all the wild flowers and anything with a thorn, except thistle. Blackberry, raspberry and multi flora are a favorite snack.

Harder to fence than dogs, cattle or sheep or most anything. Dry soil and a 6,000 volt electric fence? They’ll laugh as they walk through it.
