Process
How a Goat-Grazing Project Works
Five stages, in order. Each one produces something the next stage depends on — which is why we do not quote acreage or schedule before a site has been walked.
-
STEP 01
Site review
Nothing is quoted before the ground is walked. The site review collects the facts that decide whether grazing is a practical fit and what it would cost.
- Address or parcel
- Acreage
- Terrain
- Vegetation type
- Fire-risk objective
- Water availability
- Road access
- Sensitive areas
- Public access
- Desired completion date
-
STEP 02
Grazing plan
The plan is the contract document. It states what will be grazed, by how many animals, in which sections, under what supervision, with which areas excluded.
- Herd size
- Project duration
- Grazing density
- Fencing zones
- Water plan
- Herders
- Guardian dogs
- Public signage
- Environmental exclusions
- Reporting plan
-
STEP 03
Mobilization
Everything the deployment needs arrives together. Staging, access, and water are confirmed before the herd is unloaded.
- Goats
- Livestock trailers
- Electric fencing
- Water equipment
- Herding staff
- Guardian dogs
- Signage
- Support vehicles
-
STEP 04
Managed grazing
The herd is rotated through controlled sections to meet vegetation-reduction goals while avoiding overgrazing. Fence lines are inspected daily and the herd stays under on-site supervision.
- Cells grazed to the agreed objective, not to a convenient end date
- Daily fence and containment inspection
- Water and shade checked against the weather
- Signage maintained at public interfaces
- Progress recorded as the herd moves
-
STEP 05
Completion and reporting
The project closes with a record the property owner or agency can file, report against, and use to plan the next maintenance interval.
- Before-and-after images
- Acres treated
- Dates
- Observed vegetation reduction
- Issues encountered
- Optional maps
- Optional recommendations for future maintenance
Project suitability, pricing, grazing outcomes, timing, and regulatory requirements vary by property and agency. A site review is required before any proposal, schedule, or performance commitment is issued.
