    I believe you want sheep instead of goats (bc they destroy everything). And it indeed sounds way logical. Tho maybe rats have diseases that can affect ferrets and after them humans?
    Edit: after reading the article - they let the ferrets kill rats in front of the children. Now that’s a different story…

      Sheep are good for straight grass. Goats are good for weeds and anything else remotely plant-like. Goats more often get used to manage things like road medians and otherwise uncultivated land/hillsides for weed control.
