Invasive Species Removal | Why Goats Are The Answer
After years of being dependent on heavy machinery and chemicals, tearing through forests, getting cut up, bit by mosquitoes and ticks, I was fed up.
There had to be a better way and I decided to be the one to find the solution. As an ecologist I knew that goats could manage problematic vegetation, fertilize the land, and provide extra resources for my family all while enjoying a better quality of life. Tell me what brand of lawn mower can do all that for you? It doesn't exist. Since the inception of Goat Dispatch, I have learned and won some hard earned lessons in using goats to create a better approach to land management. Now, after all of my years exploring this exciting field, I created grazegoats.com. A site where you can learn how to transform your land or start a goat grazing career yourself.

Goat Browsing in Cool Season to Restore Oak Savanna - Goat Dispatch Goat Rental
มุมมอง 1.2K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The results of goats working in a oak savanna in November in Minnesota. We strongly believe that cool season browsing was the major driver of the oak savanna in Minnesota. It is ture bur oaks are resistant to some levels of fire with their thin bark but the main purpose of this major investment of thick bark was and is to deter bark stripping in browsing animals like goats! This is why Minnesot...

Goat Breeding - Females meet the "Bachelors"
มุมมอง 34K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Keeping the goats working as much as possible is important to us at Goat Dispatch. We bring the bucks out to the fields to hand-breed our does while they work. When a doe is ready to breed she will be standing by the buck pens and wagging her tail. We then put her inside the pen with the buck who has the traits we are trying to breed for to make the best "Service Goat" that we can. We do need t...

Goat Grazing in Wetland Areas
มุมมอง 4.5K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Goat grazing can be very beneficial around ponds and wetland situations. We are amazed at the amount of different plant diversity we see on some of these sites. We were once told that goats don't like to get their feet wet. For the most part this is true but we do have certain goats that really don't mind getting out along the waters edge with water up to their knees! While wetland areas can be...
Goat Grazing in a Prairie / Pasture Setting
มุมมอง 3.4K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Spraying and mechanical mowing a prairie/pasture setting often leads to a dominance of grass species. Often many broad-leaf plants and wildflowers lose out in this type of management technique. We have found goat grazing to be a great alternative to help support greater diversity in these settings. When timed correctly goats will concentrate on some of the undesirable plants before they go to s...
