Goats eat poison ivy, which right there has great value.
A town near me hired a goat herd and the herder would move the electric fence every week or so as the goats denuded the landscape.
I made the mistake of touching the electric goat fence.
Once.
I’ve been considering getting a couple. That’s the great thing, they eat the weeds and not the grass. What’s to hate?
Hence, the jingle:
“Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy...”
I tried an electric fence to keep my goats away from eating the bark on my apple trees.
That lasted about a day until they learned it wasn’t gonna kill ‘em!
I finally had to put up a real fence around the trees.
