What to Expect from a Goat Grazing Service
Hiring goats for brush clearing is an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way to manage overgrown land. But if you’ve never used a goat rental service before, you may be wondering how the process works. From scheduling a site visit to watching the goats at work, here’s what you can expect when you hire Evergreen Goat Rentals for your land-clearing needs.
Step 1 – Schedule a Site Visit & Get a Quote
Before bringing the goats to your property, we first need to assess the area to determine:
✔ The size and density of vegetation
✔ The number of goats needed for the job
✔ Any protected plants you want to keep
After the site visit, we provide a detailed estimate within 3-5 business days. Once the quote is approved in writing, we schedule a start date for the project.
Step 2 – Arrival & Setup
On the scheduled start date, our team will arrive with 10-50 goats, depending on the scope of work. Before releasing the goats, we:
✅ Cut an initial trail through dense brush to create access points
✅ Set up a portable electric fence to keep the goats contained within the designated area
✅ Provide a water source to keep the goats hydrated throughout the process
A power outlet is required to run the electric fence. If your property is in a remote area, we can discuss alternative solutions.
Step 3 – The Goats Get to Work!
Once the setup is complete, the feeding frenzy begins! Each goat can consume 2-5 lbs of vegetation per day, clearing even the toughest brush like:
🌿 Blackberries
🌱 Ivy
🌾 Tall grass
🌳 Salmonberries & invasive plants
Depending on the size and density of your property, clearing may take anywhere from a single day to a few weeks.
Step 4 – Final Cleanup & Completion
Once the goats have grazed the area, we will:
✔ Cut any remaining stems and shoots the goats did not eat
✔ Remove the electric fencing and transport the goats
✔ Leave your land in better shape for long-term maintenance
