If you get a couple of goats you don't need to worry about weeds, roses, trees that hang any lower than about shoulder height, washing, sump oil ..... actually anything appears to be eatable to a goat. What about rabbits in a cage you can move around. All the does in the cage and the buck running free, he will never wander far from his ladies in waiting. You can get rabbis with similar markings to Siamese cats with the chocolate points, blue points etc, very pretty things and quite marketable as pets..... are you allowed to breed rabbits in SA?

Friends had to goats they used as lawn mowers when they were building their motorhome. I asked what the plans were when they take off and they said the goats were coming with them, one was named Stew, the other casserole :lol:

Aha, rabbi's with colourful markings, we could be on to something here..... will they eat grass.
Reminds me of the rich guy being driven to the office and seeing all these people on their hands and knees on the lawns.
What are they doing he asked,
they are so poor and hungry they are eating grass to survive.
That won't do he replies, round them up and take them to my estate.
That is very generous of you sir, will you feed them.
I'll more than feed them, there is so much grass up there they can stuff themselves silly and I can sack that lazy arsed gardener that let the grass get that long in the first place

Actually I have a Chinese ride on. - HiSun

It's put up with a lot that I give it.

It's a clone between a Husqvana 42 inch deck but made with real steel and not pressed tin and a Chinese Briggs engine.

Once I got decent belts and blades, replaced the vacuum fuel pump with an electric one and but a real Briggs head on the engine it's been very reliable.
