Boy, do I have a fricken feast for some lucky goats! I wonder if anyone in my locale is doing this. I’ve thought of getting a couple of goats for the summer season, then selling them in fall.............still an option.
I am considering this too. Get a really good portable electric fence and move them around the property to clean it out. However, many folks familiar with goats have said that sheep are less picky and will eat bushes and small trees that goats won’t be interested in. The problem with sheep is that we have large coyote packs running around here and some of them are about the same size as my German shepherd.
I may try out pigs and fence them in the woods a 1/4 acre at a time to see how they do. Supposedly they root up everything! They taste better than goats or sheep although some mutton dishes are mighty tasty.
Original Weed Eater/
I have goats and their pasture is full of weeds they won’t touch.
It still has to be mowed and/or weed whacked periodically.
The downside to letting them loose in your yard is that they *will* devour those lovely, expensive shrubs you bought for landscaping.
My Arbor Vitae was carefully sculpted into a Dr Suess lollipop-esque artform by my baaaaaaaad goats.
Despite myths to the contrary, they’re *extremely* picky eaters.
