Writer Statement

Currently, I am goat-proofing fences around a field in rural Australia, so a few goats can devour a huge outbreak of blackberries in a gully. Much more environmentally friendly than chemical spraying, and digging out all the blackberries by hand is extremely difficult. Goats really do go crazy for blackberries, and they also try to climb wire-mesh fences with varying degrees of success.
