- Alex3917 18y agoIf I remember correctly, which is a big if, part of the reason they use goats is that goats eat the sapplings of low-value trees while mostly leaving the sapplings of high-value trees intact. This way you can graze goats in a freshly clear-cut forest and you will get a lot of the high-value trees growing back, with less of the low-value trees, so that in 20 years when you reharvest you get the maximum profit. Sheep don't do this. Cornell did a lot of the research on what sapplings the goats would and would not eat, but it's been five years since the last time I visited Arnot forest, where this research was being done. Thus my knowledge of this all is very hazy, but what I do know is that there is a lot of research that's gone into validating the system.

- gamache 18y agoI made this a few times recently. Goat curry: ~2lbs cut up goat meat, browned in a small amount of oil 4-6 potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 onions, diced 5-10 dried red chilis, crumbled Lots of curry, garam masala, coriander, cumin, chili powder to taste Salt and pepper to taste 1 bag frozen peas, added 30min from the end Add water and stew. Keep adding water as time goes by, adjusting to desired consistency. Stew for at least three hours. Tasty goat!
