Goats are seriously under-appreciated

well yes but also mature kudzu is extremely tough, difficult to digest, and is reduced in nutritional value. not to mention it's most severe in SE america and many communities there do not actually have the livestock nor the money to hire them to eat it. also there really isn't much forage on the vines themselves, the roots (which don't get eaten) make up a toooon of the total biomass and are the hardest part of the management process due to how deep they go (up to 12 feet!)

sorry i don't intend this to come off as rude or argumentative this is just my area of study and a lot more goes into it than just setting some goats free to roam, but they are a great tool to use for young kudzu management!!
