Weed Control Using Goats (Australia)
Lists the most and least palatable weeds for goats. Some of them are unique to Australia, but by no means all:
Scotch broom, sweet briar, blackberry, wild turnip are highly palatable. According to this and other articles, goats LOVE blackberry and will eat it in preference to almost anything.
Illyrian, scotch, variegated, saffron and spear (black) thistle as well as nodding thistle (not in rosette stage) are palatable when in flower but not at other times.
(I'm not a goat owner but I used to have a part-time goat named Leona. It's a long story - we kept her while her actual owner was in and out of hospital. She lived like a queen with us, but even though she was getting first cut alfalfa hay and Goat Chow, she still liked to graze on the kudzu. Another neighbor had a goat that she kept on a stakeout chain, he ate circles out of the kudzu on her place.)

Thank you very much. Your horse is beautiful.
I want to be a kudzu rancher when I grow up.
