    LOVE seeing goats on their preferred browse!! Most of the time I see goats on grass pasture. My small herd of goats are on browse for the majority of their diet.

      Which is exactly where they should be. Our herd of 30 cleared 8 acres in just a few weeks! They would get so excited when my then hubby would cut down a tree inside.

      I’ll do some videos going later into summer on that. Right now the goats have a bigger area for kidding and we’re not cramming them in tight. But from my experience after taking all the green in a paddock for the first time with it grows back almost the same as grass does after a grazing. I can do a video explaining all that as well. Thanks for commenting!

      @DavidStevenson-gw2eo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      The area will be nourished by using the regenerative grazing model, the sunlight will be able to reach the lower floor and other species will grow back, this is one of the best ways to graze and raise livestock and control the woodland floor and fauna.

Randomly throw you coffee across the fence. If the coffee crosses the fence it won't hold goats. My dad say this more eloquently than me but you get the point.
