A goat’s appetite is nothing to kid about.

That’s what Natalie Feisthauer learned last week when she called in a team of 50 goats to munch through two acres of invasive buckthorn shrubs on her rural Hamilton property — to great success.

The level of buckthorn clearing the goats accomplished in two days — by mouth no less — would normally take Feisthauer and her husband weeks if not months to pull out and chop down by hand, she said.

“They’re so much more efficient than we could ever be,” Feisthauer said. “And they’re quite a joy actually — an absolute delight. They’re so cute and very friendly, and hard to stay away from.”
