288743 2004-11-07 02:28:00 The problem with goats is that they are browsers not grazers. If you have hedges, trees, bushes, bicycle handgrips, clothes on the line, they will go for them first, and eat grass only when there is nothing else.

If you want a goat as a friend for life, give it tobacco. It will still eat everything but grass, but it will love you ;-)

Goats have no honour, if seduced by goats you are, forever will your y-fronts be goat appetizers.

Buy guinea pigs, make cage with open mesh bottom, move cage around frequently. Problem solved. Strong with grass munching ability they are.

Try Geese, they not only keep the grass down but make good watch dogs( should that be birds) as well.
and if you have a mind, they are good for making Foie Gras

288750 2004-11-09 00:38:00 At the risk of sounding serious, try your nearest SPCA. People are always dropping them off there, due to their less-than-hospitable natures. DON'T get a billy. Big horns and a bad attitude don't mix well (not to mention the smell). Theres nothing like being dragged round your lumpy section by a p***ed-off billygoat. As for their foraging habits, they'd eat the blue out of the sky, if they could reach.

Personally, I'd go for guinea-pigs. If the section was *that* steep, you could always dangle them from the top, using an adapted fishing rod with a guinea-pig safety harness(tm)! Yay, kiwi ingenuity...

(just kidding of course :P )

288751 2004-11-09 01:36:00 Damn! Someone got in before me with 'Goats R Us' . Perhaps 'Traaaaaaaaade Me' (said in a goaty voice)

Word of warning . A guy I used to work with borrowed a goat for more or less the same purpose . Came home one day and found the goat had chewed holes in the cladding of his house . ('Hardy plank' stuff) .

Final thought . Lawnmower is probably a better option . At least you can't finish up with a front yard full of lawnmower ****!
