In a nutshell - we use herds of goats (and sometimes sheep) to do weed-eating and brush clearing that would require many humans many hours to complete. They can handle tricky terrain and noxious weeds that people would have trouble with - and they enjoy every minute. Goats go where people can't, eat what most animals won't, and leave behind nothing but fertilizer. Goats eat many of the plant species we consider "weeds" or nuisances, including invasive species (buckthorn, anyone?). For them, it's delicious and nutritious! They can access areas too steep for mowing or weed-eating or where it is unwise to employ fire or herbicides. And they enjoy it much more than humans would! They'll eat almost anything green from about 6" off the ground to about 6' high. Favorites include: buckthorn, garlic mustard, poison ivy, invasive honeysuckle, thorny locust, sericea lespedeza, giant ragweed, multiflora rose, autumn olive, wild parsnip, thistle, raspberry, blackberry, mulberry, vetch and more.
