Can Goats eat Kudzu?

This is a funny story....
About two weeks ago my boss had a landscaping company come by and remove the kudzu from the back yard of our office. You see, on Monroe Rd there are a bunch of houses that have turned into offices. On each side of the property there is an enormous amount of Kudzu. Well, the yard looked really good once he had it removed but now its starting to grow back.  Today at work, a client who happens to be a good friend of my boss mentioned that Kudzu grows at a rate of 12 inches a day, yes, A DAY. He went on to mention that his Kudzu problem will be back in before he knows it. Then! He started telling us about the article in the paper we read on the goats and proposed a solution. Have Steve, my boss, buy a goat and have them graze around the kudzu in small areas and then move them each day.  He was amazed that we read the same article in class. It got me thinking, Can goats eat Kudzu? Just a thought......
