[Jacob-list] goats

[Mark Essen]

I have found that intensively managed paddocks have a lot less of this type of problem.  My Jacobs sheep and pygmy goats both will eat young shoots of thistle.  I do not have any milk weed in these paddocks, so I do not know how tasty they are.  I have had thistle pop up and get eaten.  I have also put many different animals in pens with mature thistle and nothing even gets close.
