Tony Otto Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 does anybody know where I can buy a goat to keep my grass and weeds down? I’m not sure what type of golf would be the best for that so if somebody can shed some light, that would be awesome as well I live near Sukhothai. Thanks for any help, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) I think they eat everything not just grass. Geese are supposed to be OK. ???? Edited May 30, 2023 by Kwasaki 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Geese are also extremely good at guarding their property. Better than any Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I would ask a neighbor (farmer) who has cows to the cut the grass to feed his cows. He will be more then happy especially during rice planting season as then the cows are stuck inside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 In the 1970s we had rental goats but in a rural area there should be a livestock auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Goats are "foragers". They prefer leaves, not grass. Sheep are "grazers" not liking leaves much. Conclusion: You need Goats as well as Sheep. How many? Depends on the size of your property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) They also make great pets I have heard. But as said by other they eat everything, We have a one rai play farm me and the wife play farmer in . and we thought about getting a couple also , but then we also thought that they also eat all our vegetables and flowers. We saw some for sale at the Khon Kaen flower festival , in the pet section and the kid goats were so cute, Below is a FB page where they have them for sale https://www.facebook.com/ThailandGoats This place is far south but perhaps the ship, good excuse for a road trip, or they can recommend someone closer to you Edited July 2, 2023 by sirineou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the choice they still prefer leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 To keep grass down you need sheep...not goats. Goats are browsers not grazers. With sheep you will need to have someone trim off their wool at regular intervals. I would not get geese....they are very noisy and also leave feathers and sloppy stinking poop everywhere.

Having the choice they still prefer leaves. Not a goat expert, but the one I mentioned, I think was pretty well fed,As I said it was a petting zoo. You know the ones where you buy pellet food from a coin operated dispenser and feed them , and everyone was feeding them . If I had known that when I was a kid I would have claimed that the goat ate my homework ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geese and ducks leave huge amounts of sloppy wet poops that really stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
