Goats browse. If they want grazers, they should be looking for sheep.

Re your #14: “...they should be looking for sheep.”

Not an option.

Muslims don’t like sheep.

They like goats.

Sheep would offend them, and you know how they get when you “offend” them!

Sheep, therefore, ist verbotten!

An acre of knee high alfalfa would be grazed to about ground level by 40 goats in less than a week...We would then close off that pasture and the alfalfa would grow again...you could get 3 good alfalfa feedings per summer...the rest of the pasture was regular grass's, timothy with some alfalfa and other grasses...You close off an area when the goats are done and let it grow up again...there are a few things they won't eat like wild mustard, you have to get rid of burdock first, that can cause problems for the animals...electric wire keeps them penned in good. they won't go near the wire more than once...grazing and the nose hits the wire, they stay at least a foot from said wire... But I don't know of the different between browser vs. grazers, You put goat, sheep or cattle in a pasture and they eat just about anything. (with few exceptions)
