We address common queries about our goat grazing services, ensuring you have the information needed for effective land management.
How are the goats contained?
Do goats permanently remove weeds?
What size jobs do you take?
We use temporary fencing panels, specifically designed for contain elusive animals such as goats, to ensure secure containment. Our team sets up and monitors the fencing throughout the grazing period.
Targeted grazing significantly reduces weed canopy and seed production but is not a permanent eradication solution. It's best integrated into a planned, site-specific management program with follow-up grazing. Usually after 2-3 visits most woody weeds are suppressed sufficiently.
From small backyard clean-ups to large rural paddocks, we assess each site for suitability. We ensure reliable water access and animal welfare on every project. No job is too small.
Can goats replace weed spraying?
In some situations, targeted goat grazing can provide an effective alternative to herbicide-based weed control. Suitability depends on the vegetation, property and desired outcome.
Can goats work where a drone can't spray?
Goats can access difficult-to-reach areas that can present challenges for machinery and other vegetation-management methods, such as under trees. Each site is assessed individually. Many parts of Gippsland are covered by a Agricultural Chemical Control Area, meaning drone spraying is not permitted unless without a lengthy permit process.
