Why not give supervised grazing permits and MAKE MONEY FOR THE STATE???
IDIOCY IN GOVERNMENT!!!
Just in California, you’d have to bring at least 2-million goats to do the job.
Didn’t they also use goats to control the kudzu problem?
When the goat population gets to big.... curried goat stew!
There is finally somebody with a BRAIN.
How about you take out the dead trees on the ground?
And they taste just like chicken.
And they fertilize the property too at the same time.
My mother raised Nubians, the one on the right in the picture looks just like most of them. They wre always bottle fed from the minute they were born, acted like little puppies. She milked the goats and kept the colostrum in the freezer, first in ice cube trays, then zip lock bags. They were fed that for a day or two then straight milk from any of a half dozen goats. She put 8 calf nipples on a 5 gallon bucket, used it to feed the group at one time instead of individual bottles.
Once they started to eat vegetation, which didn’t take long, the very firs thing they wanted was the rose bushes. Second was the dogwood trees. (my mother found out the hard way before I got there). If you tied them up so they couldn’t reach theither, their number one favorite thing was...POISON IVY...No, I’m not joking, I watched them do it. They would stick their heards through goat wire mesh fence and get stuck trying to reach poison ivy, when they had plenty nice grass and weeds everywhere. I had to pull a head out of the fence at least once a wee.
Once bottle fed, they were just like pets. Follow you around the yard like puppies. The only one that was ornery was her oldest goat, Clarabelle, who she got from someone else, not bottle raised. Tried to attack me every time I went inside her pen, without fail. She’d rear up on her hind legs, try to head butt me with those horns, I’d have to grab her by the horns, twist her head sideways and pull her down to the ground a couple of times before she’d finally leave me alone and let me feed her...Yes, they got grain feed after feasting on weeds and poison ivy all day. I still had to watch her every minute I was inside her pen. They also loved French Mulberry. Seems to also have medicinal uses for humans, used by natives for dropsy, fevers, malaria and stomach ache.

This grew wild all over our property, I’d cut some branches off 2 or 3 times a week, the goats would run to get to it. They loved those berries. I’d cut all I could carry, a handful in each hand, 4 or 5 goats would wipe it out in a couple of minutes. With goats around, no need for a lawnower.
