Frequently Asked Questions
Are goats really effective at clearing land?
Absolutely! Goats are incredibly efficient at clearing unwanted vegetation. They can consume up to 25% of their body weight in vegetation daily, and their preference for leaves, vines, and woody plants makes them perfect for tackling overgrown areas.
How long does it take for goats to clear an area?
The time required depends on the size of the area, the density of vegetation, and the number of goats. A typical residential project might take 3-7 days, while larger commercial projects could take longer. We'll provide a specific timeline during your consultation.
Will the goats eat my landscaping or garden plants?
We set up temporary fencing to ensure the goats only access the areas you want cleared. Your valuable landscaping and garden areas will be protected from our hungry helpers.
Do I need to be home while the goats are working?
No, you don't need to be present. Our team sets up the fencing, brings in the goats, and monitors them regularly. We handle everything from start to finish.
Is there a mess left behind after the goats are done?
Goats leave behind small, dry pellets that are odorless and break down quickly to fertilize your soil. There's no need for cleanup, as these droppings are beneficial for your land.
