Goats are legit lawn mowers. They feed themselves. Just have a strong tether setup, and some basic shelter
QFT. If you have an area that's overgrown, you can seriously set up an electric perimeter fence and just throw some goats in there, and forget about it. In my early teen years I worked on a farm, they had goats just for the reason of tall grass control. I know nothing about having goats for the purpose of milking, or having fainting goats for that matter, but they are very tame, and very fun animals to play with in general.
This seems very inhumane, but it's funny as hell!!
We had goats at the farm. Probably 20 of them. They did a good job keeping the grass and brush cleaned up and were pretty good at killing snakes. They would eat right out of your hand. They're also pretty good when you barbecued them.
e: One of the weird semi-vacant lots down the street from my house (it has a nice 5th wheel RV parked under a pair of huge billboards) has 2 goats keeping the property clear. Now I'm wondering what other animals he's hiding
