The Process
How a goat job actually works
No mystery, no fine print. Here's the whole thing, from first click to cleared ground.
- 1
Tell us about your land
Start with our quote form. Drop a pin on your property, tell us roughly how many acres need work and what's growing — briars, poison ivy, redcedar, general brush — and add a few phone photos if you have them. Takes about five minutes.

Site assessment
We walk the property with you. We look at brush density, terrain, perimeter, water, and access — and we run a toxic-plant check on every job, because a few plants that are fine for the brush pile are not fine for goats. The assessment fee is credited to your job if you book.

You get a straight quote
One written quote based on what we actually saw on your ground: how many goat-days the job takes, what setup requires, and when the herd can start. No pressure and no surprise line items later.

Setup day
We haul in the herd, set portable electric netting around the work area, place water, and turn the goats in behind a fence hot enough to keep coyotes honest.

The herd works, we check daily
Goats browse from the top down, stripping leaves, briars, and bark. We check the site daily — head count, water, fence integrity, and progress — and move the netting as sections finish.

Walk-through and the regrowth pass
When the browse is knocked down we walk the ground with you. Most brush species need a follow-up: a second pass at roughly 6–8 weeks catches regrowth while it's tender, which is what turns a knockdown into control. (Eastern redcedar is the exception — once defoliated, it's done for good.)
What we bring so you don't have to
- Portable electric netting & energizers
- Water hauling where there's no source on site
- Daily site checks until the job is done
