A smaller herd of goats perpetually maintained on the grassy area in question would do the trick.
Upkeep of this smaller herd may be an issue however. How much husbandry do goats need?
- anigbrowl 17y agoNot much. As long as you have a fence to stop them running out into the road, goats will just wander around and munch grass all day. As will sheep. They need to be checked by a vet a couple of times a year. You guys are confusing the requirements for industrial farming (where you're committed to deliver a certain amount of milk or meat every x weeks) with the basics of animal husbandry. As long as you don't have so many goats that they eat the grass faster than it grows back, everything will be just fine. Keeping animals on a free range basis is extremely low-maintenance and low-impact. They just eat, poop, sit around and reproduce every so often.

- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoYeah, but goats are escape artists I raise chickens and have looked into having goats for milk (not this year: don't have the time) and fencing is a major issue. One of my neighbors has goats and they are always getting out.
