Organic Goat Mowing Benefits Renting goats could save you between $1,600 and $3,000 per acre. Goats are more economical for larger properties of an acre or greater. Consider your lawn s vegetation before investing in goats. To clear an acre of land in a month, you ll need to rent four to eight goats. Remember more goats can clear land faster. How dense is your weeds
Organic Goat Mowing Benefits There s a lot to love about using goats for lawn mowing. Perhaps the most obvious benefit here is simple: they don t churn up the ground like some other animals, such as horses and cattle. Goats will typically also graze less than other livestock, which may help ensure that your lawn stays looking green and fresh for as long as possible. The potential benefits of goat moving, having highlighted the practice s ability to halt the nasty cycle of weed destruction and regrowth. Goats have a lot of other benefits, as well. For example, when they eat weeds, they sterilize the seed during the digestive process. As a result, the seed that passes through them is infertile and doesn t lead to more weeds, it explained. They also can be used to eat grass that s likely to fuel fires. And they can easily reach steep or rocky places.
Healthier for Humans and the Environment Gas lawn mowers burn fossil fuels and spew out hazardous air pollutants, like carbon monoxide. Lawn mowers also release volatile organic compounds that can cause respiratory issues and cardiovascular problems, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Goats may not smell pleasant, but they re a much healthier option for the environment and humans, since they eliminate the need for lawn mowers.
No Need to Buy Pesticides, Herbicides, or Fertilizers Since goats enjoy munching on weeds and invasive species that could otherwise quickly take over your yard, like kudzu, you won t have to worry about using chemical herbicides or pesticides. Plus, you ll get the added bonus of free fertilizer, aka manure, as goats work throughout the day.
Remove More than Grass If you re tired of getting on your knees in the dirt and tackling that untamable crabgrass, goats will soon be your new gardening best friend. Be it prickly thorns, itchy poison ivy, or other weeds, goats will chomp through more than just grass, saving you time spent maintaining your lawn. And, since they love plants that can cause allergic reactions in humans or poke you if you re not careful, you can also avoid some of the less pleasant elements of gardening.
Reduce Forest Fires By thinning out excess vegetation, goats can help create fire breaks that prevent forest fires from spreading. For this reason, goats are an especially common source of fire management in states prone to wildfires, like Nevada and Oregon. But they re still good to have around if you live in any region susceptible to droughts.
Costs You could save anywhere between $1,600 and $3,000 per acre if you choose to rent goats for land clearing rather than invest in regular lawn mowing services. Keep in mind that if you have less than an acre of land, some goat rental companies may not offer you rental packages or services, or the cost may be less beneficial compared to the cost of hiring a local lawn care service. Overall, goats will usually still save you money, even if your property is smaller. No Extra Cost for Sloped or Uneven Terrain Goats are famously agile, which means they can tackle your weed problems with ease, even if you have sloped or uneven terrain. What s even better is that they don t charge extra for challenging landscapes like humans do.
Grass Isnt a Goats First Choice Goats have also been known to pull down tree branches, rip up shrubs, and dismantle saplings to get to tasty leaves. So, if you re looking for a super-precise job, goats may not be the best option for your lawn. As professional goat wranglers beforehand checks are helpful, as we can install a portable electric perimeter to contain the herd and identify or block off potential goat hazards (i.e., steep drop-offs or poisonous plants for the goats.) Here s a quiet truth you may not know unless you re a goat expert: Grass is not a goat s favorite thing to eat. They ll definitely eat grass, especially if there s nothing else to munch on, they often prefer other vegetation more, which is typically why many people get goats for weeds and invasive species. For example, goats can (and happily will) eat: Poison ivy Poison oak Various types of weeds Invasive plant species like kudzu, leafy spurge, and milk thistle
