Goats, my property is cursed with rasberry plants, few berries but lethal spikes, not stickers. I was dreading the job of removal, and googled land clearing and got goats. There is no better animal at foraging, and their balls of poop are weedfree because they fully digest before dumping, unlike cattle whose poop emits vocs which will surely kill us all (right), but worse the seeds grow out of cowpoop. I intend to get two goats to clear my own place, and see about leasing them to clear land. Either stake them or possibly use electric fence which works for goats, but not sheep. That they can eat berry thorn plants is unreal. Plenty web info!
