General Questions About Goat Grazing
What is goat grazing?
Goat grazing is a natural vegetation management method that uses goats to browse invasive plants, brush, vines, and overgrown vegetation. Goats are especially effective in areas that are difficult to reach with traditional equipment.
Why use goats instead of herbicides?
Goats provide a chemical-free solution that helps protect waterways, wildlife, pollinators, and soil health while reducing environmental impact.
Why use goats instead of heavy machinery?
