Doug Muck has two Akbash dogs, Josie and Mary, and a Great Pyrenees (not shown) that protect Lariat Ranch's goats from coyotes, cougars and other predators.

But animal farts are killing the planet!
They are like gubmint workers.They generate work to justify their jobs.The goats eat the weeds and crap everywhere thus fertilizing the growth of new weeds.See how that works.
Nice dogs.
I have a friend in MN who lives in an underground house. Most of the roof is grass. For many years he kept a herd of goats who ate the roof and my friend sold the milk.
I wish that I had a couple of goats, but they are hard to contain. They climb fences and would destroy my vegetable garden, I fear.

Its a darn good idea! Besides that Bar-B-Que goat is the best there is!
It can't be effectively controlled with chemicals.
I have fleas on mine and they are doing a great job.
One neighbor petitioned for the use of goats (our covenants do not allow goats) for 30 days. They did a good job, but had to be brought in every night so the bobcats would not eat them.
The goats can usually clear an area in 2-3 days and are rounded up each evening.
Some people just look for opportunities to complain.
My Homeowners Assoc. brought in goats to clear the firebreak around the perimeter of the houses. It worked for the most part and cost about as much as hiring people to do it. The sheperds set up temporary fencing and moved it as the goats cleared each area. The herding dog was really cool to watch.
The good part is that the work got done and the neighborhood kids had a little petting zoo for a week or so.
The bad part was that the goats did not clear the weeds as far down as mechanical clearing does. They left a lot of material.
The problem with goats is that they don’t limit themselves to the weeds. I had a pet goat when I was young, and it destroyed every bush in my parents yard. Didn’t eat cobras, though, and eventually one got him.
Do they eat kudzu, though?
Caprine ping.
Can we get the goats to clear out Congress? That way there would be no chemical residue...
After passing through the disgetive tract, and when they "fall to the ground."...they germinate.
Presto! More weeds.
