We moved to the country about 9 years ago. The brush over the 33 acres was so thick you could not walk through it. The first thing was to fence a small area and get 2 brush goats. They had been bottle fed, therefore were just pets. I had a very had time keeping them in the fence, which was barbed wire with electric fence between the strans. Both goats would get out and come to the house and stand at the back door and want inside. Oh well, I have since had as many as 40, Pygmy mixed. They cleaned up the 33 acres. A goat need a means to get out of the rain and bad weather, as they cannot stand to get wet. You can buy a mixed breed for about 20 to 50 dollars here in Alabama. I have 5 goats at the present time, two are the same first two pets I bought.
