Wow. I hope you have a lot more foliage.

I have to say, I was amazed how bad our weeds got when we were gone a lot for a week and didn't let the goats into our horse pasture.
Now, I'm amazed how fat the goats are.:p I need to fence in our front yard. As of this week, it's back to needing mowed every week to not look like a jungle.

Our "woods" are not quite like that, but when there was a fire on the edge of our property last Fall, the firemen said our goats had really helped. There was no underbrush to burn, so the fire stopped on the property line. WE just have the boys taking care of the woods and the girls get the pasture.

I think I'll take more soon. There are so many neat areas and so much forage that I could move them to.
