15.01.2022 Goats on frontline of bushfire-prevention efforts in parts of New South Wales https://www.abc.net.au//goats-guzzling-through-/100424696 BETTER OPTION: ... Goats in the Bush ABC Rural 020921 Goats are great for controlling weeds like blackberries..... but how do control the goats! Just another pest for the bush and neighbouring famers! I used 700 goats to control Blackberries at one stage, but they were hard to keep in the paddocks and the wild dogs really liked them! One needs to go out to western NSW to see the damage they can do out there. I have run cattle in the bush numerous times and found that they eat a lot of the undergrowth (not Blackberries). The breed of cattle that I had the most success in the bush was Galloways. Galloways have shown in trials overseas that they eat a lot more diversity of plant species than other beef breeds. This was shown in my bush when I put Shorthorns and Galloways into the same bush. The Galloways went deep into the bush cleaning up most of the plants, eg tussocks and the Shorthorns only travelled a short distance from the bush gate! I guess the centuries of foraging the hash hills of Scotland developed their metabolic systems to better utilize the coarser plant species.
