Is it safe for goats to eat blackberry bushes?
Goats are well equipped for eating brush and especially enjoy blackberries. Their prehensile tongues are well suited for eating shrubs, spines, and leaves, making them well adapted for eating thorny blackberry canes.

 What are the benefits of goat grazing? 

 In grassland areas  with heavy invasion of non-native grasses, goats de-thatch allowing  native grasses to recover. Removing undesired vegetation boosts native species by freeing up water and nutrient resources that otherwise would be used by competing invasive plants. 

IT'S EASY...

• We  set up electric fence netting (if necessary) and provides water bins.  Landowner does a head count each day and refills the water and monitors  float valve. Average cost is just $4-5/day per goat. 

 SPECIFICALLY... 

• We  offer goat grazing/clearing services in Tuolumne & Calaveras  Counties for landowners who have priority areas of one acre or more to  be cleared.  
• We  do a site visit for clients to assess the needs of the property.  If  needed, we set up electric fence netting and water for the goats. A  landowner or manager needs to check on the goats daily to ensure they  have water and are all accounted for.  
• Pricing includes transportation, materials, set up, as well as weekly check-ins and periodic moving of fences to new areas.
