How It Works
While prescribed grazing goats may be ideal for some properties, they aren't right for every property. Unlike sheep, goats are "top down" grazers and therefore are better suited for areas overrun by broadleaf vegetation rather than areas that are predominately grasses. Many of our targeted grazing jobs are on the margins of forests, along fence lines, and into vegetation so dense that it is nearly impassable to humans.
• Estimated acreage of target vegetation (2 acre minimum)
• Estimated acreage of entire property (10 acre minimum)
• Type(s) of problem vegetation
• Several images of the area in question
• Reason(s) for clearing the site
If you think goats may be a good fit for your property, please send us an email that includes all of the information above.
Share our recommendations about the site over email at no cost.
Schedule a site visit ($50 paid at time of visit) to determine if goats are the right fit for your property and if so, discuss timeline.
Send you an estimate and contract for the grazing job and set dates.
Goat Installation: Set up and test electric fencing, temporary shelter, and water.
Goats Start Grazing: Daily visits by handler to provide water and occasional added nutritional and health needs.
Program Costs: The cost of a graze varies widely based on the size of the area to be cleared (and therefore the length of stay), distance between the farm and the grazing location, how much fencing is required, terrain conditions and density of vegetation. The average price of a goat installation and first week of work is $1,200.
