Excerpt from Using Goats to Control Brush Regrowth on Fuelbreaks Goats have been accused of destroying the resource, but they generally reap the blame for prior mismanagement in volving overgrazing by other animals, indiscriminate use of fire, and baring of the soil by various means. Goats can utilize woody vegetation on which other livestock would starve, and so they are usually present during the final stages of land degradation. Test results show that properly managed goats eliminated or controlled woody vegetation at the same time that herbaceous vegetation reoccupied the site. Goats will eat a wider variety of plants than other classes of livestock, but unless they are subjected to grazing pressure, will only eat plant parts that are in a favorable growth stage from species they relish. Goat diets, when averaged over a year, usually contain at least half browse, the rest grasses and forbs. During spring, goats seek out the lush herbaceous growth, then concentrate more and more on browse through the other seasons. Forbs are taken more or less in proportion to their abundance. Goats are least selective on first-year brush regrowth, and become more selective as the brush is older. In mature stands, much or most of the brush is out of their reach.
