well there are hundreds of brush types out there so its dependent on your goal and breed of goat.
If you are showing you would need more than you would if you just want to make your pets feel good.

For pets just a general simi stiff horse bush is fine it knocks the dirt off and makes them feel good.

if you want to talk show lmk

Feed must be on my mind too much these days. I thought this would be a thread about the best vegetation for goats to eat. LOL

I read this earlier today and registered cosmetic supplies, but just now I clicked expecting to see vegetation suggestions. Mine are particular to wild roses and blackberry bushes. They REALLY want the neighbor's lilacs that border our yard but I read those are poisonous to goats.

I use the dog's rubber brush on the goats. Kind of like a Kong Zoom Broom, but no long "bristle" things sticking out.
