There is temporary electrical fencing I’ve seen outfitters use where we live for their mules and horses. Think it must be battery charged? Not enough sunlight for solar in the areas where they camp. Check that option out. Goats would be a great idea.

And mobile electric fencing will keep goats from eating what you don’t want them to. Just be sure there isn’t something around that might eat the goats. You don’t need many, 2 may be enough. They are highly social creatures so most won’t want to live alone.

I love the idea of goats but I don’t want them to eat EVERYTHING. I have little trees that I want to grow. Might have to ask the neighbors if they want to let their goats graze in my yard for a text run.

As a fellow Tennessean, those big vines look like Kudzu to me. We used to have a lot more of it around here, but years ago when we first moved here (to OUR 11.5 acres!) we had a small army of goats. They knocked down everything. For several years I didn’t even KNOW that we had wild roses! Hahaha! But yes, totally agree with the others on being scrupulously careful with the poisonous stuff. Both plants AND chems. I have a son who breaks out just knowing it’s on the property. And when I say breaks out, he looks like he’s covered in boils! It’s awful. It’s tough to get rid of and keep at bay, but worth it in the end. Goats are probably the gentlest way to get rid of the excess brush, vines, growth and even saplings! But that would also require the fencing. Pros and cons. Can’t wait for your B&B to be up and running!! I’ll be sure to sign up!

Maybe 2 or 3, all females! Well worth the price of the fencing. You will have a park-like area before you know it.
