Lots of trash was found, as well as many loose stumps and a few logs and stomped-down remnants of a wire fence with barbed wire on top. Tillman is going to help me take away the brush piles left by the goats (just branches and sticks too big for the goats to eat). There are massive vines hanging off the trees where they cut the lower parts for the goats to eat. The hope is that the vines will die and eventually drop off the trees (and not kill them).
I'm probably going to have to have someone come regularly for basic maintenance -- I don't have the tools, knowledge, or strength to beat back a jungle every month.
At least now I can run a line from corner to corner and see what I've got. I'm pleased with the goats.

Wow, those goats made short work of that area. Love it ! If you have any nasty stuff like poison ivy or other invasive plants, I think if you have the goats decimate those areas several times, the plants will go away. (At least I think that is what I remember from our 3 month long permaculture class we've been taking. The plants will give up and not return.)
