FAQ

1. How do goats and sheep help with weed abatement?

Goats and sheep are natural grazers, meaning they consume a wide variety of vegetation, including weeds. They excel at targeting invasive plant species while leaving desirable vegetation untouched. Their browsing behavior helps control weed growth by eating the leaves and stems of unwanted plants, ultimately reducing their ability to reproduce and spread.

2. Are goats and sheep safe for the environment?

Yes, utilizing goats and sheep for weed abatement is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical herbicides and heavy machinery. Grazing animals produce minimal carbon emissions compared to machinery, and their natural grazing behavior promotes biodiversity by encouraging the growth of native plants. Additionally, their waste acts as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil and supporting healthy plant growth.
