That would be my solution. Sheep don't like long grass. That is true. You would have to get the grass short initially, but after that... Goats would do but they would like low branches as well. Yes, I wouldn't use goats in that situation. I always understood that sheep graze, goats browse. In other words, sheep eat stuff on the ground while goats eat stuff higher up, i.e. shrubby stuff. But I expect there's some overlap. I had some sheep in my meadow a few years ago and they certainly attacked some oak saplings. The saplings were protected up to about 2 - 3 feet high but the sheep continually chewed the tops off. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |
