Custom Goat Grazing

What It Is

We use goats instead of mechanical equipment to control invasives, help reopen land, and keep it open!

Do you have areas where mechanical equipment is unsafe or ineffective to use? Perhaps you don't want to use herbicides? Or simply looking for a more natural approach to your vegetation problems?

Well then goats are a fantastic option for you!

They love to work in even the roughest, uneven terrain, are careful along delicate stream banks, and leave your property having nourished the soil and eaten away your undesired plants.

They're efficient, multipurpose, and have an unstoppable work ethic!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your service area?

We currently only service Franklin County Massachusetts but we are hoping to expand our service area in the future. Sending us an inquiry helps gauge interest in additional towns!

How do you keep the goats contained?

We use a virtual GPS fencing system called "nofence" that acts very similarly to dog gps fences. This works especially great in areas with rough terrain where we might not otherwise be able to fence.

How do you deal with predators?

We often use a livestock guardian dog to protect our goats on jobs. If this might be an issue please let us know on your inquiry form.

What if the goats escape?

While rare, it can happen. We get real time notifications from their gps collars, meaning we sometimes know they are about to escape before they do and prevent it. It might mean they are temporarily in an area they aren't supposed to be but aren't on the loose. If it does, we will be there asap to figure out why and put them back where they belong.

We have certain plants that we don't want the goats to graze within the larger area, can they be excluded?

Generally yes! Depending on the specific situation we can either put a virtual exclusion zone around the tree, bush, plant etc. that you don't want grazed or we can use physical electric net to exclude them. We will ask for these to be pointed out to us on our site visit!
