This is the right time of year to most successfully suppress briars with herbicide treatments. You want to cover all the leaves and stems with a systemic herbicide (like Round Up) as it will translocate to the roots at this time of year. I would disregard the notion of growing points. Total coverage of all the leaves is what the label calls for.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Garlon is popular here. I've never heard of it used on briars though. I was wondering if that'd work. Just cut it down & squirt it just above the soil on the cut stem. Probably not a bad idea.

Had the briars take over under 2 or three acres of grapes one year. That winter the deer ate about 6 inches of the tips off most of them. Double application of round up took care of them the next year

I put 4 acres into a riparian grass land program last year, the thistles were out of control, mowed them twice this year, hoping it is better next year.

Will goats eat them? I have watched deer it briar leaves a few times. Mine will. If I put the electro net fence around an area you can lay on and not get through in a few weeks to month depending on how large an area I fence and how many goats it will be nothing but a few stems any will look like you sprayed it with round up Let ot green back up and repeat throughout the growing season and you will still see the difference between where they were and where the fence was 3 years later.

I've unofficially heard that if ya mow down nuisance plants every 45 days, it'll eventually kill it.

When you say briars I assume you mean Blackberries or Raspberries.
That is a good question/comment. Actually, most of the briars I see has no fruit.
