Got Brush? Use Goats!
Are you dreading the unenviable task of clearing brush from your land?
If so, I have the perfect solution-a herd of lovable goats! These
delightful animals are the indisputable answer to removing overgrown
vegetation from pastures, parks, and hillsides. They can move around in
areas inhospitable to humans and machines, and since their method of
clearing land is to eat everything in sight, the hassle of hauling away
truckloads of debris is of no concern.
The funny thing about goats is that many of the plants they consider
delicious are the same plants that exasperate farmers, communities,
and homeowners. They eat plants such as kudzu and poison ivy, which
spread quickly and make it difficult for other types of vegetation to
survive. While many people are allergic to poison ivy, which is why they
avoid clearing it, goats are not bothered by it in the least. Not only do
they chomp down on toxic plants, but they enjoy plants with thorns,
such as blackberry brambles. Goats can't get enough of them! All things
considered, if you are staring down a tangle of unwieldy brush, hiring a
herd of goats to do the work for you is your best bet!
