WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE USING GOATS FOR LAND-CLEARING?
Our Dottie’s Goat Farm crew working as a group to achieve optimum land-clearing results.
The main reason why more people are using goats for land-clearing is because they are cuter and much better foliage eaters than humans and machines! Jokes aside, there are four main reasons why we consider goats to be an excellent choice for brush management and wildfire prevention. They are efficient, eco-friendly, economical, and entertaining; and our customers love them!
The Four “Es” of Goats
-
Goats graze from dawn to dusk and enjoy working in groups. They eat thorny bushes, dry grass, woody vegetation, and beyond. They are also agile and can stand on their hind legs to eat the leaves off lower tree branches, leaving the overall landscape beautifully manicured.
-
DescriptAs goats graze, they produce manure that benefits the health of the soil. This natural fertilizing process allows for healthy regrowth, which is a preferred natural approach than using harsh chemicals to combat invasive plants. At the same time, goats help prevent the spread of wildfires. And unlike machines, goats won’t spark a fire during the grass-clearing process.ion text goes here

The cost for brush-control using goats is significantly lower than using heavy machines, chemicals, and hiring human labor. Plus, at Dottie’s Goat Farm, we offer a 15% discount to all our senior customers, 65 yrs or older.

Now, the highlight of the entire “goatscaping” process is that goats are fun to watch! They have huge personalities. They often act silly and sassy, and make interesting sounds. When you watch them manage the land for you, with so much ease, it can be so impressive, comforting, and entertaining at the same time.
