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 ;-) |

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

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 ****! |
