I Like the idea, and may even use that as a route to explore :) But i dont think most gardeners would like the goats to eat their veggies too :/

No no not that! Goats are good at eating not weeding. They originated the scorched earth approach.

Now, now! They're used a lot for ranches, I've heard, for keeping the grass down. ISTR the U.S. White House uses them, Anybody in touch with Mrs. Obama?

Goats are telepathic, they can read your mind and find out which plant you least want them to eat and then head straight for it.

LOL. But only for some types of weeds - the shrubby ones since goats are browsers as opposed to grazers.

Sheep would be better for grass eating duties. Goats like to stand up on their hind legs and eat at or above head height whereas sheep don't do that. Goats are great for control of bushy weeds like blackberries but not for grund level herbage.
