If you dont want to lose what you have in your garden or want to watch the goat constantly then I would suggest a running tether put in a position where you can control what your goat eats, that way when the goat has eaten the grass in that area you can move it over and keep a rotation going so to make the most of the grass and make sure the goat doesnt eat to much and get bloated.

Thanks for that but decided against getting any animals for time being due to a change in circumstances. :mrgreen:
