Goats at Work

There are at least three goats in this picture. See that wall of green at the back? That's what the whole area looked like -- an impenetrable jungle. Not to goats, though -- they just started eating.

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.
