Many years ago we borrowed three goats to assist in cleaning up a ravine filled with scrub and briars. Our friends were perhaps a little too happy to loan. A couple of weeks later, after the goats had found daily new ways to destroy fencing by climbing over, under, or through, we called them up. "Your goats have done their job and we are ready to return them." "I'm sorry, those were a gift", was the reply.
Omg. I have a pond with an overgrown tiny island on it, and I can’t believe this never occurred to me. Brilliant. Getting the pigs and sheep into the canoe is going to be interesting though…
Lol, never had sheep, but I’ve had many a pig that I wanted to send to a pig Alcatraz. To be honest, I think pigs are actually worse to try to recapture than goats. My working theory is goats are better escape artists but pigs are better fugitives.

Goats as gifts— I think your friend may have been on to something, lol

I like this theory. Once I learned that goats can climb to escape I decided not to try them.
