Angora Goats Do Best as Pasture Scavengers on Briar Covered Land
Ru fus Lester of Wayne County West Virginia explains in the Orange Judd Farmer that one Angora goat per acre tames briars weeds and brush on sloping land while leaving pasture for horses cattle hogs or sheep. With selective clearing and girdling of large timber the goats’ grazing suppresses sprouts and aids bluegrass sod within about three years.
