Goats do roam

[texaslawchick]

I'm sort of surprised that this is a new approach to the kudzu problem. I've heard that goats have been used a lot in various places across the country for general highway cleanup. They're environmentally friendly weed whackers, and they'll eat pretty much anything, so it stands to reason that they'd be useful against kudzu. I'm amused, though,

llamas are AMAZING guardian animals -- our Bruno ran off a bear once, and we routinely have coyotes and cougars in the area, but so far, between Bruno and the dogs, we have not lost a single sheep.

Plus, having a llama around is good for keeping one humble, as they have this LOOK of PURE disdain that reminds you that you are most CLEARLY a lower being.... ;)

Great pictures. As for the guardian thing, I never knew that about llamas.
