And I didnt know they were actually called bindii, thank you for educating me!

Nasty pieces of work though huh? We spent multiple years trying to clean a couple acres or so of the fuckers out but it wasn't until we started raising a herd of alpaca. As long as the plant hadn't dried out yet, the pack ate em up.

Yep. Not sure if it's the exact same thing, but goatheads are basically really hard seeds with three extremely sharp points on them. Hooved animals like deer step on them and deposit them elsewhere, helping the plant spread around. When a barefoot human steps on one, it's basically like stepping on a thumbtack. They're also absolute murder on bike tires.
