I knew those alien eye’d fucks had a use

Are you guys sure about that $28,000 figure? That sounds like a lot of money. US median annual income, per cursory Google search, is $59,000. One person could clear an acre in days, if clearing stuff that goats can eat through.

They could even release some native Americans loose to make beads

Goats mow that tall grass AND give milk, which you never get from an 8 foot Flail Mower. Believe me.

Where can I rent some to naturally clear my yard? Oh how I WISH!

Just make sure there are enough wolves to control the population or result will be not what's imagined.

GOATS- Greatest of all time forest rakers.

Arm them with rakes and double down on their effectiveness. /s
