How big is the field and what needs cleared? Is it securely fenced and is there shelter in the field- ie a shed? I don't think I have anything suitable, but I would be reluctant to let my goats go anywhere on loan I am afraid.

I am always being asked for goats to clear fields, gardens etc.  Although these are kind offers, I always refuse.  I worry about the goats getting out, getting stolen, eating something poisonous in the field etc. etc......  Also how do you stand movement wise?  Not everyone who has a field or garden has a CPH number.  Do you have to fill a form in when they go, and then on return?
