Why didn't I think of this?Oh that's right -- because I don't own any goats (at least not since I was about 5 years old). An eastern Ohio farmer has a unusual solution for those who are plagued by overgrown brush and multifloral rose bushes - a "rent-a-goat" program.Full Story. Posted by Jake on 04/20/04 @ 10:21 AM

But in Jake's defense, the story he links to is talking about pygmy goats, it's a bit different. Pygmy goats are only 40-70 lbs, a lot easier to handle than having full-size goats around the house. This story was actually mentioned briefly by Paul Harvey on Saturday report. julia mae said on 06/06/05 @ 10:39 AM: Have a 1 1/2 hr old doe that is agressively butting me continualy even when I am down. I bottled fed her at 19 days old. She has 3 one month old kids. She is not safe around anyone. I got hurt several times. No matter that I have tried to break her of this habit since day one, she still is mean. What to do? Breed her with a bore? Thanks, Julia tim lang said on 04/04/07 @ 03:39 PM: I need to rent some goats to get rid of my blackberry bushes. I am in Milwaukie Oregon.
