I knew a guy who owned a giant home. It was more of an Estate. If I had to guess the house was probably 15,000 sq. ft. The estate was probably 40 acres.

This was on the edge of Dallas, but in the city limits. He was trying to find a way to keep the grass down, so he bought about five or six goats.

Two days later they had eaten everything. The grass, his shrubs and they were starting on the smaller trees. It was really amazing to watch them eating since they never stopped. I guess they slept at night, but I never saw them doing anything but eating and eating as fast as they could.

So he rounded them up and sold them by the side of the road. After that he bought a tractor and had to hire a guy to maintain the place.

He also has a landscaping company come in and replant everything.

If you want to use a goat stake it out with a chain and check on it every ten minutes. And don't let it near your shrubs.
