Growing up in Texas, we had a type of thorny briar we called “Goats head”, it was like natures caltrop. As the weed that produced it died (by human or drought), the goats head thorns remained attaching themselves to fur, clothing, or bare feet. Someone convinced my mother that a pair of goats would rid us of those weeds, thorns and all. The goats systematically ate _everything else_, including grass, hay, the bark off of trees, and even a wooden dog house. But they never ate the goat-heads.
