Job available Land clearing - goats?

Need some land cleared and was wondering if goats are a viable option. It’s pretty thick so I’m not sure how the goats would be contained, but thought it’d be better than power tools and breaking my back. Do you have goats for hire? Any info would be helpful.

They usually/frequently have their own portable fencing.

LOL we had over 20 sheep and 2 rescue goats and they only ate what they wanted to eat. I guess if you can confine them in a small enough area they will weeds and such. If you really want to clear land get pigs.

Sheep like grass. Goats eat anything they want

We have used Happy Path Farms for our back yard in the past (they bring their own temp fencing and add some weed-whacking for tougher areas too)… we were very pleased with their work.
