Goats for Gilbert Lawn Care
Did you go to the Maricopa County Fair? Did you see the livestock show with over 600 animals of all varieties? In among the pigs, sheep, cattle, rabbits, and chickens, the goats may have caught your interest (or nose). Those baby goat kids are just adorable, aren’t they? You may have thought to yourself, “What a terrific animal. I have to have one.” And for good reason!
The goat is an incredibly useful animal. Goats are used in the production of:
- Milk and cream
- Cheese such as chevre
- Ice cream, fudge, and caramel
- Body products; soaps, creams and lotions
- Meat
- Fiber for yarn, especially the hair of the well-known angora goat
There are a few farms in our region that sell goat products. But what about using a goat for Gilbert lawn care? Great question, we’re glad you asked!
Goats for Landscape Maintenance
Using goats for yard care and landscape control is one option, especially if you live on acreage property. Goats are more fun than a lawnmower, use up no petroleum products, and contribute naturally to the fertilizing of your lawn. Talk about reducing your carbon footprint.
Even Google has used goats now and again for cleaning up brush and reducing the risk of wildfires. It’s an easy way to clear a plot before planting vegetables. Goats will eat nearly anything; weeds, sticks, brush, brambles, kudzu, even poison oak. This advantage is also the drawback—goats can easily eat plants that you want to keep. Farmers who keep goats often have to move them from place to place so one spot doesn’t get stripped clean.
