Targeted grazing is the application of a specific kind of livestock at a determined season, duration, and intensity to accomplish defined vegetation or landscape goals. It is also known as “conservation grazing,” or “prescribed grazing" or "RX grazing."
The controlled and monitored nature of targeted grazing separates it from the over-grazing that has, ironically, acquired a reputation for environmental damage in some parts of the U.S.

We offer a grazing service. You can rent our goats to control vegetation and landscape. Goats’ strengths lie in their ability to completely digest weeds, brush, trees and their seeds. They eat younger trees, grinding up everything above ground and then digging up the roots. They eat woody plants and weeds that cattle and sheep eschew and can even eat some poisonous plants. Their grinding consumption and unique digestive system destroy the germination ability of nuisance trees like Chinese elm. Anything bigger than small grass seed has a tough time traversing their systems, ensuring that the animals’ manure helps to both reseed and fertilize beneficial plants in the enriched ground. This is a great advantage over mechanical weed removal devices like mowers and weed eaters that merely knock down and reseed problem vegetation.
