[TheForge] Re: OT Goats

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

Bob,

There is certainly something to be said for a tool you can store in the shed all winter and not worry about!  That would be my first choice.  But, my kids are into livestock.  What can I say?

Aubrey

A good mower is way more practical in my opinion. Goats may eat some of
the weeds and brush if you starve them but you will have to feed them
all winter when grass/weeds are not available. I have a Whipper mower
(no it's not a string trimmer) that will cut 1-1/2" saplings without a
burp. You only have to feed it when it's running.
