If your leaders are over about 6' and you do not get to many goats, or keep them in with the trees for to long at a time they will help a lot with brush control.

In my experience  in both the NE and SE goats will eat anything.  That being said, they prefer hardwood and brush over pine.  Unless your fir is shorter than the brush you should be ok.  Also don't overgraze or they'll eat everything.

Eat everything is not an exaggeration for those of you who have never had bored goats in an enclosure that has trees in it. Species does not really matter as long as the tree is not very large. My friend who had goats used to throw in discarded spruce or pine christmas trees. When they got done the trunk and large branches would be debarked, completely, and everything else would be gone.
