I wanted goats, and now I think I should mix with sheep as well.
Goats will do the job you want, obviously, but what have you planned for when you will plant your forest? Protect all trees from goats? Sell or eat the goats when you do not need them to eat/clean your place? The idea is simple: if you want to CLEAR the place, then you need (during a short time) MORE goats than what the land can maintain long term. If you get goats + sheep, you can keep sheep maybe better later on, as they are easier to keep, and tend to eat on the ground more than goats.

However loud I tell it, this is never a truth, only my experience...
