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.

please email us. From there, we will:
Schedule a Visit Determine if goats are the right fit for your property and build an estimate for the grazing job
Goat Installation Set up and test electric fencing
Goats Start Grazing Daily visits by handler to provide water and occasional 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 cost to set up is between $500 and $750
and the average herd per diem is between $100 and $200.
