I tried to get ours to work on some poison ivy, but they just weren't that interested. As long as there is Hackberry (which we have in great abundance) they don't want to eat anything else. Poison ivy? No thanks. Sunflowers? Nah. Wild blackberries? Pass. Apparently if you're a goat, Hackberry trees are the best thing on Earth. We call them "snackberry". The only things they like as much as that are the fruit trees and the "used to be a Christmas tree" Douglas Fir planted in our yard.

On one hand, I'm glad we have loads of something they like. On the other hand, so much for targeted brush clearing. :th
