So exciting to see how you all clean up places using these beautiful goats. I don't know why, but I have a real fondness for goats. Thank you for this clean way to clean up land ...
I love anlmals very much . Goats are great for your lsnd and very easy to care for Grest and healthy ides to emerse goats into environmental protection in agriculture.
My strategy is to have them open the area up/clean underbrush and make it easier to come in and saw. They can do some of the tedious work for me and feed themselves at the same time. I agree though, it's a continuous management practice rather than a silver bullet.
@@lastharvest4044 Thats a great idea ! But sawing them to get rid of them would still take a herbicide to kill them. Best off to basal treat them...with a herbicide such as " Pathfinder II " or others....and walk away. Would be dead in 2 months.
@@jerrylansbury9558 The more time intensive (but turning problems into solutions) approach would be to graze the regrowth every year until the root/rhizome is exhausted of energy and dies. I'm at a small enough scale to pull this off, of course with too many acres it's not as feasible alone. It also doesn't work if it's not palatable forage, or is toxic, but luckily most of my invasive brush is good goat feed!
@@lastharvest4044 Total true ! But from my learning such as multi- floral rose Those roots will lay dormant for as long as 5 yrs. Then...tada....they are back ! Then also with a lot of invasive species the seeds can lay dormant in the ground for years. I have tried covering an area with plastic to smother everything out for two years. They were back the same year after removing the plastic.
@@jerrylansbury9558 Appreciate the insight. I agree the seed bank can't be beat without drastic measures, and some rhizomes are so vigorous. I've seen pigs going through an oldfield pasture that bring up 20+ year old viable seed. I think the only answer organically would be repeated disturbance until it's exhausted and all uprooted. Maybe pigs followed by chickens a few times if you want it bare.

Is that goat, in the thumbnail, smoking a cigarette?
Won't the weeds come back from seeds in the dung?
they pretty much chew the seeds thoroughly
Amazing
Fantastic idea well done.

Goats will not kill brush. They only suppress them !
