Landowner hosting program
Host the Herd
Between contracts the herd needs somewhere suitable to be. If you have rural or agricultural ground with access, water, and vegetation to spare, that can work for both of us.
What hosting means
We are looking for ranches, farms, vineyards, and large rural landowners willing to host goats between grazing contracts. The herd grazes your ground while it is there; you get vegetation reduction, and the arrangement is documented so both sides know exactly what was agreed.
Benefits to landowners
- Vegetation reduction across the hosted area
- Grazing activity on ground that would otherwise go unmanaged
- Potential fuel-load reduction on the property
- Possible compensation or service exchange, agreed in writing
- Improved land use between your own operations
- Support for a local wildfire-mitigation business
Compensation, service exchange, duration, and responsibilities vary by property and are settled in the written agreement — not assumed from this page.
Minimum criteria
A property needs all of these before we can consider it.
- Suitable agricultural or rural zoning
- Truck and trailer access
- Reliable water
- Secure or fenceable areas
- Adequate acreage for the herd and hosting duration
- Permission for livestock guardian dogs
- Ability to accommodate temporary staff or approved mobile housing, where lawful
- No unresolved hazardous-material concerns
- Willingness to sign a written agreement
Submit Your Property for Review
Tell us about the property. We will review it against the criteria above and come back to you either way.
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.
Not a hosting property, but you have vegetation to manage?
Grazing contracts and hosting arrangements are different things. If your property needs fuel reduction rather than a herd between jobs, start with a site assessment.
