LemonBoy Hi Im not sure how much room they need but I have a 40ftx60ft bit of land at the side of my house I was thinking of setting up an enclosure on
KEF lol I hear they eat virtually anything and eat blackberry and raspberry bushes like candy so are brilliant to clear land that is overgrown with them.
Better find out how much area they need before you go any further. Remember you will also need winter forage. With that small area you will have to buy it in. Do you know where, and how much it will cost?
With an area that small, I would stick to chickens.
With an area that small you'll need to buy forage in for the summer as well as the winter. Access to shelter 24/7 is necessary as is well-insulated weatherproof housing for the winter and overnight.

Goats are browsers and certainly do not feed exclusively on grass. And certainly not long grass!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
As the whole scheme is a non-starter, Dove, do you think we are being wound up??
I'd quite fancy a couple of giraffes - whatdyathink
They'd prune the trees for you.
Pretty useful if you've got a leylandii hedge
