Yep, I've got them, but the goats are busy on another 8 acres. They do
a good job keeping the brambles down, making it hard for the brambles
to prosper.

If they come back with a vengance in the field, I'll probably have to
somehow add the goats to it. That may mean a couple years of pasture
rotation, because the goats would eat the brambles before grass.
