What can be done to control weeds and brush in my
pasture?
- Suggestion A: Cashmere goats will eradicate the weeds and also produce
a crop of cashmere wool you can then sell for around $190 per pound. In a pasture that was
over run with bind weed, Canadian thistle and a patch of solid poison ivy, the
introduction of goats eradicated the poison ivy and the bind weed. There is still some
Canadian thistle, but the goats eat it right away. There is only grass and alfalfa left in
the field.
