Blackberry Extermination.
To exterminate blackberry by goats:
If possible slash down and burn the blackberry before turning Bill in. He will finish the job quicker then, but he will eventually get rid of it even if not cut down. The paddocks should be fairly small so that you can concentrate the goats on each in turn. Keep an eve open for footrot. Goats on wet country are just as liable to get the disease as sheep. The same methods of prevention and cure can be used as in the case of sheep.
