So how well do they mind an electric fence? We are thinking about getting a
few to clean the unwanted weeds in the pastures. And can they be mixed with
cattle or should they be separate?

This has to be better for overall health, i bet you never had any health
issue with them.
@tarastheme001 There are several websites that are regional which describe
plants that goats should not be ingesting… I have notice that my goats
naturally seem to avoid eating the plants that are bad for them.. such as
milk weeds or cherry tree leaves at the yellow stage. Each part of the
world has it’s problem plants for livestock… thank you for posting!
This is interesting….I had no idea that goats could eat poison
ivy….None around here, but I have a friend on Cape Cod whose backyard
yields a bumper crop every spring. He could certainly use a couple of
goats. Is there any weed that goats should not eat? I know that cattle
cannot eat loco weed…..Thanks for posting all this very useful
information. It’s very helpful.
@vutEwa Some people own small herds and transport them for grazing in areas
where it’s particularly helpful. It’s actually a growing service… goat
landscape grooming. They have even been contracted by the Army Corps of
Engineers to graze down difficult to reach areas along bridges and berms.

Thanks, I could do that also… they are all grown up now and have very
