Freelance Goats Do I hear giggling? I used this method to clear 10 acres of unwanted blackberry vines. But goats will not be confined to eating only unwanted vegetation. In fact, there's no rule for goats. Goats do exactly as they please. Shockingly, it's not always what you have in mind… which makes for entertaining goat tales sure to make you the pinnacle of attention at social events. Comment by Katie Cordrey |
