They love it. The goats practically kick down the gate to get to the goods. And its good for them. Unlike sheep who will mow down grass, goats love to eat weeds. They'll eat poison ivy like candy, take the wild rose down to a nub, and they go hog wild over blackberry bushes.
And yours truly doesn't have to get covered in poison ivy and scratches from the wild rose bushes.
Now this is how to clear a hillside. Me in a chair watching the goats. Good goats. Keep up the good work!
Happy Tuesday everyone! Is everyone excited about having a super-terrific-goat-grazin' day?

Just happened to sit down to read a few posts as yours went up. I love your little goats. They would come in handy in our old place but.....not so good in new place. Train would get them.
Goats are amazing brush clearers, aren't they? My field was loaded with brush and goldenrod that got over four feet high in spots. All gone. Turned into milk.
I am udderly excited about Tue-Tue-Tuesday!!
Well, no goats here though I could use some to eat away at some weeds and brush we have here.
What a great feeling when the animals all come together, and earn their keep! Good looking goats too! As soon as we get our woods fenced in...ours will "get to work" as well...on the roses and poison ivy. Can goats eat Elderberries or will I have to get them out first?
I live where there is NO traffic (dirt road). I actually let my goats loose so that they can get the weeds out of my yard. Of course once the garden is in, they aren't let out. lol
My goats are going to have the same job once the Commander gets the fencing up in the forest!
Weed whacking and milk. Sounds like a good idea!
thanks RKBs! the goaties are doign a great job.
Weeds into milk, its fabulous, Free!
BotR - you know it! udderly excited for sure!
Becky - you gotta take the goat plunge!
I dunno about elderberries, HDA.. but i bet Free does. :-)
Great work, SFG! "Hey you goats! keep out of the garden!" that should do the trick ;-)
CC - the fencing never ends... does it.. sheesh!
Dave, goats are the original weed eaters! :-)
