The screenshot of the Gal-Gone label you posted on the dock thread showed a recc for nettles (2L/ha).
Pastor and Thistlex both work well on them, dearer than Gal-Gone but a hell of a lot cheaper than Grazon.
Of course, if your using a knapsack, you would only be allowed to use Grazon Pro, in daylight anyway.

Leave it for nature
Bramble pie and custard?
And all you need is a decent knife to release any hoggs caught in Brambles (Briars?) Or if they're small Welsh Hoggs, just lift them up and spin them the opposite way.

When I came here there were many acres covered in wall to wall thistles & nettles. I sprayed 170ac with Thistlex the first year, but some needed a follow up the next year as the nettle beds were so well established.
Dow chap reckoned Thistlex was better for nettles than Pastor as it contained much more Triclopyr, and I would agree. I’m pretty sure Grazon Pro would be the only one of those that you could apply without a boom sprayer, legally.
Put a fence up and let the cattle graze it

Be careful. Some products are approved for use in and around water.

Nettles want to be 8 inches tall and nice and leafy before you do them. They always seem to have a big root mass on them,
If you are spraying off pasture containing thistles or nettles or a lot of docks Kyleo is the kiddie but beware next crop interval.

Thistlex gets my vote. Did sh!t load 2yrs ago. Less last year. Not seen anything to worry about yet this year.

Nettles make good greens. Pick tender tops carefully, and cook as per spinach.
Cut and dried nettles, add to young stock diet for minerals and vits.
Large leaves make tasty and interesting rind for cheese.

Also can be used in pesto with wild garlic if you have any of that
