That is the thing that I've got to get better at. Restricting the
goats. The main herd is used to keep the big pasture under control. If
I don't do that, it gets out of hand and big and unpalatable to them.
I think that this year, I am going to recruit a few to make a new
smaller herd that can work on specific projects in that way for me.
