What the goats are worth
Start with what goats can do that nothing else can — then look at the numbers. Every quote is grounded in a site assessment, not a guess from a satellite photo.
First, the honest comparison
On flat, open pasture a brush hog is cheaper than a goat herd — and we'll tell you so. Goats earn their keep on the ground machines and herbicide can't touch: steep slopes and ravines, creek banks and pond edges, under fence lines, and anywhere spray drift would land on a garden, a pond, kids, or pets. Add what only goats deliver — poison ivy eaten instead of scattered, eastern redcedar killed permanently with no resprouting, and fertilizer left behind instead of chemical residue — and the comparison changes fast.
Per-acre ranges by brush density
Denser brush means more goat-days per acre, so pricing scales with what's actually growing. These are starting ranges — every job is subject to a site assessment, which is where terrain, water, access, and perimeter get measured.
Light
from $450/acre
Scattered brush and weeds; ground you could almost walk through
Moderate
from $750/acre
Solid brush cover — briars, honeysuckle, young cedar mixed in
Heavy
from $1,050/acre
Dense, tangled growth you'd need a machete to cross
Severe
from $1,450/acre
Impenetrable thickets, heavy cedar encroachment, years untouched
Job minimum: $850. Mobilizing a herd, netting and water costs about the same for a half acre as for two, so very small jobs price at the minimum.
Site assessment: $75, and it's credited to your job when you book — so the walk-through is effectively free for anyone who hires the herd.
Repeat passes cost less: a second pass runs 5% less and a third 10% less — regrowth is lighter work, and we price it that way.
Season, timeline, and distance also factor into the final quote, and fencing, delivery, and water service are itemized so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
The only number that matters is the one on your written quote — and getting one costs nothing. Start here.
