> there is no such thing s as Goats-as-a-service.
Interesting note: I went to a farm stay last weekend. In New South Wales, blackberry thornbushes are pest plants in farms. And what the smaller farms do is they rent goats from people who do goats-as-a-service for a few days. The Gaas people will come in to a farm, install small fences around the blackberry thornbushes and set the goats to business.

- esperent 6y agoMy mother gets Shetland-ponies-as-a-service from a local farmer. They look beautiful and they keep the grass trimmed. I think she has about eight now.

- rsync 6y agoWe have "goats as a service" available in Northern California as well - for fire/brush control. I see 200 goat herds utilized by towns in Marin County to clear various slopes/hillsides, etc.
