Got Weeds?
Goats:
We don't raise the goats for butcher (sorry) but we do rent them out for eco-friendly clean-up. We will bring the goats to your yard, set up the solar electric fencer, and provide them with water. You provide them the weeds to munch and they provide you with fertilizer pellets!
Some basic info:
Yes, goats prefer weeds and leaves to grass. Although a goat on a lazy day will lay down and nibble what they can reach too!
No, they don't stink. Our boys have had their little "friends" removed so no musky odor.
Yes, goats are scared of the rain! So we do try to leave our trailer for them to go into to get out of the weather if they want. It also provides them with a little comfort of home, because while they are working goats, they are also our pets.
So why should you hire goats instead of the local lawn service? First of all, goats who eat the greenery leave a much smaller footprint on the earth when they are done. They don't use gasoline and oil (fossil fuels), nor is the equipment loud and destructive to your property. They are personable creatures who love attention from people, are gentle enough to have around the smallest children and work so efficiently that they are used in African countries to establish self-sustaining herds for native people.
If you are lucky enough to have the goats working in your backyard, you will enjoy watching them work and interacting with each other. You may find yourself drawn to them, pulling weeds from other parts of your yard to give to them. And when you think they have eaten enough, you can simply give us a call to pick them up. We will arrive within 24 hours to move them to their next buffet location.
