Shhhhhh! Maybe it's the goat owners who have quirks, lol!!Some have quirks.... 🤣
You could try sheep? They're much easier to fence in than goats and will eat your poison ivy. I used to adore goats obsessively (and I do have 2 old goat wethers), but sheep are just as sweet and much easier to live with. If you buy an orphaned or bottle-raised ewe or wether, they are usually very tame and easy to lead train. That might work best if you are thinking to tie-out a sheep in a specific spot to eat down weeds.Thank you all for the warm welcome! When my husband and I first bought this place, he was very straightforward "we will not have goats." And I completely agreed for years. They can be ..a handful. 😂 My grandparents used to have them & they had a habit of eating everyone's clothes, while they were wearing them...Though there was that time Grandma hung the clothes out and Billy escaped....
But I have a ridiculous poison ivy rash right this moment from putting up the chicken run before things fully leafed out, and I'm thinking a goat could sure help us out with things out here. 😉 So I will just have to keep working on the hubby on that one. He might cave. Hehe.
I look forward to getting to know you all more. Thanks again!

I use my sheep to clean up windfall apples and clear my lawn of dandelions. But watch out - they love hostas almost as much as dandelions, your landscaping is not safe with free-range sheep.
