we temporarily fenced our goats
This sounds so much easier than it practically is - unless you're talking electrical fence or have something really decent you can setup temoporarily? Our goats destroy, both willingly and unwillingly, any simple fence in hours or days.
no underbrush or scrub left - just the trees
We have a rather large species of goats (maybe largest, something Nubian) and they eat the bark of trees so unless you get them away from the tree or the tree has a sufficient diameter which makes it hard enough to get their teeth on it, at least 30cm or so, the trees also don't survive :)
- sillyquiet 7y agoPine trees the primary tree we had present, they have rather resinous bark the goats did not eat. The fence was pretty robust - the only 'temporary' part of it was the actual fencing. The posts were bedded in cement with sturdy chain-link fencing. After the goats were done, my father and older brothers removed the chain-link and substituted it for chicken wire to form the basis for the new chicken pen.
