How to Prepare Your Land for Goat Grazing

Brush Clearing Tips
Written By Charlotte Shimko

Goat grazing is a low-maintenance, effective way to clear brush, but proper preparation ensures the best results. Before the goats arrive, follow these simple steps to get your property ready for grazing.

Step 1 – Identify Areas That Need Clearing

  • Take a walk around your property and mark areas with dense vegetation.

  • Note any steep slopes, overgrown brush, or invasive plants you want the goats to target and let us know about them during the consultation.

Step 2 – Protect Plants You Want to Keep

  • Goats eat almost everything! Identify the flower beds, garden plants, or young trees that you do not want impacted.

  • If you’re unsure which plants should be fenced off, consult with our team before grazing starts.

Step 3 – Ensure Safe Access for the Goats

  • Remove any hazardous objects (sharp debris, toxic plants, or unstable fencing).

  • Our team will provide a water source if possible to keep goats hydrated while they work.

Step 4 – Schedule Your Goat Rental

Don’t hesitate to book your grazing session early to get on the schedule before peak season. Evergreen Goat Rentals will handle the setup, monitoring, and removal.
