How much did they charge and was it weekly or monthly? Awesome video
I would like to know the same thing. I cant seem to find anything on it so far.
I am also interested to know around how much for this service.
It was $700 for 48 hours
@@TheElenaSanchez thank you very much!
@@TheElenaSanchez you paid 700 $$ to feed someone else’s goats? Wow. That blows my mind. Those goat guys shoulda paid you…I’m not knocking you, that is just absolutely crazy to me.
I bought 17 high fenced acres that was impassable. Bought 15 goats and turned them loose. Within 2 months it looked like a park. Discovered I had a small pond, two old trucks and an antique tractor I knew nothing about. Goats are amazing at clearing land and a lot of fun to watch.
Don't mention it
@@frankli7434 don’t worry I got your joke, it’s safe here in my pocket
That’s amazing!!!
@@Trefuckor963 is it because he's the goat?
Goats are so good they cleaned the pond and fixed the trucks...
I had a friend with approximately 25 goats. He could no longer afford to keep them and was on the verge of getting rid of them. His neighbor offered to keep them for awhile. Within a week, those goats had completely cleared the land they were on. Not only did my friend keep the goats, but he and the neighbor opened their own business renting the goats out for land clearing. The both now own over 200 of them.
Damn. That's a lot.
That was a good idea
I can't believe people go for the "renting goats" thing! omg. Just buy a few and keep them! Goats are fun and handy to have around! ...just have to keep them out of your garden, and off neighbor's property.
@@theobserver9131 A lot of the people who rent them are not zoned for farm animals so they have to rent their services. But you are right about them being fun. A friend of mine had a herd of fainting goats. We used to sneak up on them and startle them. They would fall like dominos. We would give them special treats afterwards as an apology.
@@PaulaDautremont Yeah, I've been thinking about it. I can imagine a lot of reasons a person would choose this route. I do wonder about fencing, I wonder if the temp fence comes with the rental...and guard dogs.... good idea.
I hadn't even thought about zoning.
Thanks for the story about the fainting goats! That is truly a hilarious sight!
What an incredible business model. Customers not only pay you but feed your goats as well. Brilliant
It's only making them money if they work most of the time. Think about how much those goats ate in 48 hours, then imagine having to pay to feed them the other 28 days of the month.
@@edennis8578 I assume that this is not the only purpose of theses goats. I assumed that they are normally used for whatever goats are normally used for. I don’t know what that is but people make money from goats somehow
You'd be surprised, a lot more places are looking into goats as an easy method of brush control. I know it's growing popular in California as a way to clear overgrown areas in forests to help lessen the severity of wildfires, as so long as you can get the goats to the area, you can pen them up with the portable fencing and let them do their thing. No machinery, no manpower other than a couple people to move and pen the goats, and because goats are excellent climbers they can get into areas that machines or even people would have a hard time doing it. In addition, these look like mostly wethers (neutered males, which go for very cheap compared to does and herd sires for breeding, as there's always extra males) of lots of different breeds, so the owners likely picked up most, if not all of their goats for dirt cheap.
@@gmfan09 there is goat milk, goat butter and goat cheese and goat meat, the horns are useful for a number of things, but the first three need the goat to be pregnant and the last two need the goat to be dead.
past that, unless it's a kashmir goat it's wool isn't worth much.
but if you want to keep your lawn mowed and you don't like mowing, and you don't mind goat droppings, a goat is a great thing to have.
@@edennis8578 people who have a lot of goats also have a LOT of land, not all of it arable, that land often goes to hay, that is what the goats will eat during the winter.
during spring and summer they will likely be booked all season long, and the farmer likely has enough hay and/or land to support them when they aren't.
This business should have a YT channel. I can so see people wasting their time watching goats clear a field. I just did. 😊
😂👏🏻
Nope we are not waisting our times we are learning from them how to be a good workers and finish our jobs properly on time ! Profigoats 🐐 ☺️
Kind of like those channels of people mowing lawns, grooming pets, shearing sheep and other occupations!
Absolutely agreed, I loved watching that. 😁
I got directed to this video from the last video I watched of a goat clearing someone’s yard. 🤣
those goats have such a fun life. they get to constantly see new places and snack on a really broad variety of stuff. what a good time for a grazer.
...right up until they go for a car ride and never come back (assuming they don't just go into a barn and never return)
they are cute and fun, but don't forget, they ARE livestock...they WILL be slaughtered.
@@tuseroni6085 then the meat have purpose aswell, i never tryed goat ;)
Goat meat is not a commercial commodity. Even in my country, where we eat goat cheese all day, it is still almost impossible to get hold of goat meat.
Pretty decent red meat, tender, if it didn’t give me craps I’d try it again 😅
Clearing the land to look like a park, not using any equipment except transportation, having great dogs tend the goats… feeding your goats for free and getting paid… Priceless 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️🥰😎😎
And if you're smart, using the milk to make cheese to sell :)
@@petroventer1220what if the goats ate something like, poison ivy? That's gonna be an irritating milk
I love how they even have their own livestock guardians. Those dogs must love their job haha.
I love this!...such an environmental friendly but efficient way to clear land. Goats fed, land cleared, ground fertilized and all in one go round.
It costs a lot too.
Currently trying to convince my husband to let me do this on our property, so thank you! 😁
Hahaaa good luck! It’s so fun to watch!!! And not to mention it’s eco friendly and cost effective
I’ve been trying to convince mine for about a year now, still trying 😂 he’d rather buy expensive equipment 🙄
Better walk through and know your plant varieties; there are poisonous plants that they will eat.
@@klaudii4446 Oof
At first I thought that they were going to go straight for the greens on the floor , but no they know their job as well as the beautiful guardian dogs , 💯 organic
The Goat is the way to go, my father had 2 acres and no one liked cutting the grass and kudzu, So my father purchased goat and he ate all the grass in about 2 weeks. He cleared it so well we had to take him to the neighbors house,
It's amazing what nature can do. no chemicals were used or anything toxic.
Yes!!
@@TheElenaSanchez You sure do smell the goats, though!!
What about the fuel used to move them the plastic in the netting and the heavy metals in the charger. Much better than herbicides I agree however these plants will grow back
Everything is chemicals. Goats are 100% made of chemicals.
Plus the land is fertilized!
Goats can eat poison ivy and just about everything else. They are the best in the business when it comes to clearing over growth. It dosen't take them long either Sheep are good too , but they won't eat things like poison ivy and other types of weeds. Your lawn will grow back healthier now and more lush also. Much love ❤️ 🙏
I always heard the major problem with sheep is they will pull things up and eat down to the point of killing lawn where as goats dont?
@@krose6451 I’ve heard that too!
But I’ve also heard that Babydoll sheep are bred and sold as lawnmowers.
@@krose6451 sheep are grazers and will eat down a pasture. Goats are browsers and prefer foraging and eating with their head up. Mine barely touch the grass
As far as clearing a place from bushes goats are the Greatest Of All Time.
The doggies acting supervisor are real adorable
Goats are amazing. I remember them very fondly from my youth. We had a very densely overgrown area of our back yard we wanted to build in.. and my father told me and my brother to clear it and it just wasn't possible. We spent 3 weeks and made almost no progress. It was nasty, hot, dirty work. My brother in law offered to lend us some goats for a few days. 3 of them jokers cleared everything to the dirt in 48 hours. I was absolutely shocked at how efficient they were. With all the greenery and vines gone.. what they left was an easy afternoon of work. I am so very glad to see this form of natural control being used more today.
That is amazing, I genuinely didn't think they'd be able to clear all of that.
NICE! We had a goat when I was a little girl, as we had a large meadow which was too thick to cut with a mower. My dad moved it's teather every few days, and the little guy managed to keep it all trimmed in rotation.
They actually get to work right away, what a team
...they were probably hungry? :P
Clearing and fertilizing! Love it!
Those dogs are so amazing. Right away the dog established “these are my goats, tread very carefully around them. Oh and by the way, I am not a pet”. Said all that in one second.
OMG. THIS IS THE COOLEST thing ever. What a tremendous job they did.
Goats are the perfect animal. They are generally calm and very curious. They are focused on green food but have a very short attention span. Since they don’t have upper front teeth, they can’t bite you.
Great entertainment.
Goats are THE best friends to have around - they are hilarious & LOVE to 🎉. I had just a few & miss them SOOOOOO much.
My husband and I looked into this. We found out you keep a llama with the herd-the llama will keep predators away.
Thats wat the dogs are for
Also, donkeys kick a$$.
that's what the dogs are for
Llama's are intimidating.
@@truewerf4413 Dog needs dog food, llama can eat grass.
❤❤❤ Just love how keen they are and that they have their own security team!!!
I have a buddy in ATL who did this-they were so fat and wobbly and full and they still managed to jump up in trees ant eat them down to bare branches.😅😍
Goats cough up their already chewed "cud". That is part of the process of digestion in their 4 part stomach. Excessive coughing could be a serious problem but those coughs were probably the rough material coming back up.
Just before Christmas I was driving a rental truck for the School Orchestra Tour of Victoria and Southern New South Wales and I was noticing just how overgrown the roadsides and centre medians were because we had had heavy flooding levels of rain during Spring. In places the grass had grown to chest height and was very thick and I watched one mowing crew working very slowly through the thick damp grass.
I spent a lot of time thinking that a goat flock could save a lot of work, particularly on steep slopes or awkward parcels of roadside land.
The only trouble is that you need farm land to keep the goats between jobs.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Goats are generally brush eaters. So if you're talking about mainly grass you might add in some sheep too. They'll mow it to the ground & the goats will eat the bushes, trees, etc.
I never knew how soothing and cool it would be to watch goats roam and eat 😅❤❤❤ this was nice
This is the first time I have seen it actually work. Most videos show the goats walking around but not doing much. Great job.
Thanks for watching!!
Omg!!! I just came across this video, and I was giggling laughing and just loving every moment of this. They didn’t waste any time they got onto the property and got to work I watched that girl take down that tree lol thank you for sharing this video. I would rent these goats at the drop of a hat if I had property like yours.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃🙏🏻
Thinking of getting two for a four acre property. I'll have milk for coffee and cheese n soap.
So cool. They are too cute!!!
Those Great Pyrenees dogs are wonderful livestock guardian dogs - they treat the goats like their little siblings and are very attentive.
Where else can you sleep on the job???
lol
Im having a bad day. This brought a smile to my face. Thank you.
Aw, I’m so glad, thanks for watching! I hope you have a better day today.
They do this to the hiking trails around my grandparents house at the end of every spring, before summer. First time I saw it as a kid I was like WTF are all these goats doing here?! (I was 10? Younger? Idk) it was sooo fun to sit there and watch them.
Those trails are fire hazards in the summer when it all dies and there are so many homes around it. It makes sense. Super cool stuff
That guy knocked over the tree and the rest rushed it like it was a busted open piñata!
THIS is what I want to do! My wife didn’t want me to buy a goat, my plan was to buy one or two and when they were done sell them. Never thought we could RENT goats! THANK YOU!
Glad you’re okay. Doing what you want in an intelligent way, good for you
That's a great way to clean the grass in backyards...I love goats I grew up as a shepherd !!!
That’s amazing!
I rented goats and had a great experience would highly recommend
Yes!!!
We hired a goat wrangler for a house we bought that was over grown with thissels, but the goats got out, trashed the neighbourhood, and took us a better part of a day to catch them all!
Omg!! 😅😬
It takes a while to learn how to keep them in but good LGDs will keep them in also
Lol
Hey, they clear the lane and fertilize it at the same time. That’s pretty awesome.
🥳🥳🥳
I love goats! My husband and I have about 6 heavily treed and brushed acres. We got some goats and have been letting them out in small areas at a time, and they have been doing a great job! There is no need for us to do much of any yard work. Goats are the best!
That is awesome!
Probably only happy place on RUclips to watch. Not all the other nonsense. Thank you miss.
So cool to see the natural way of doing things!😊
Thanks for watching!
Watching this was just such a treat! 🐐🐐🐐🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the most amazing thing I've seen, i knew goats eat alot and even had a goat as a kid, but never realized as a small herd they don't mess around..wow..what a great company..
Right?! Thank you for watching!
It was really beautiful to watch the sun moving across that back area
No machine works better than nature! And they even fertilize the land for you! Awesome!!!
We are going to begin offering this service from our farm soon. Any part of the process you wish had been different? Anything that struck you as super cool that they did?
Everything was pretty great! I’d say just remember that while you might get to hang out with goats every day, to us it’s very rare so I was excited to hear about anything and everything regarding the goats 🤩
You should consider setting up a profile for each goat. So people can try to identify each one & what they like.
@@Nirrrina she only had em for a few days.
also i wouldn't get too attached to them...they ARE livestock.
us farmers get very attached to our livestock and they all have names. I love the idea of setting up a web page to introduce them. A very important part of that team are the guardian dogs that live with the goats and are not like the pet dogs folks may expect, note the warning growl when she got close to the off ramp at the start.
It’s nice to hear the narrative with just the goats and backgrounds.
I love the dogs. Most dogs really love having a job. I also love goats. I find playing head vs head push with the small ones fun.
Be careful doing that with billys. They will not be as fun when they are fully grown up.
The country club I work for did this for the golf course. It was a wonderful job
Keko and Spanish goat are great and never get sick
Wow! That's amazing, and wayyyy more fun than trying to go in there with tools and do it by hand :)
Yes!! 🤩
@@TheElenaSanchez I know it's old, but did you get an estimate of how much it would have cost for manpower to do that same space? I'm curious because my own overgrown back yard being about half the size of that yard and also sloped. (I've become disabled, can't do it any more but can't afford to move away either, and it's becoming a fire hazard with no vacant space between my own and the other properties)
Now you just need to find something that eats the sticks/trunks as well...
Pro tip: Termites is a bad choice. 🤣
The power of the goats!🐐🐐🐐
wow. that was fascinating. thanks for sharing that. everyone always says get ya some goats to clear your land. I had laughed. But not now, lol.
Different areas of Washington in the US used goats to clear overgrown inclines and gullies near roadways a few years ago
Goats have got to be the funniest way to clear land
True but they are totally cost effective.
Awesome, no nerve wracking noisy machine involved.
And their poop will fertilize too👍🍀
Omg!!! I’m so happy you made this video!!! This made my day! I would totally get attached to them though 🥺😭😭😭 thanks for sharing this! 🥰
I definitely got attached to them! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 haha thanks for watching!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
when i seen how many goats there were i was like "how many acres do you have?" and when you said "day or night" i was like "those goats will eat that area out in less than a day."
when i was a kid we used to rent a goat for the spring and summer, we would tie it to a zip line along the creek cus it was such a pita to mow, the goat would eat half the stretch til it was all gone, then we would move the zipline and it would eat the other half. in the summer when the creek dried up we would bring her water (first time we got a male goat, we learned our lesson from that) so i know exactly how much a single goat can eat.
goat also had a little goat house, it used to be a dog house my dad made but the dog it belonged to ran away (or that's what they told me anyways...little weird we never found him again...or that he never tried to run away until after we got our Doberman...) and the new dog didn't like it so it became a goat house. the goats loved to stand on top of it.
also goats WILL turn all that grass into poop...it comes out like a cluster bomb, a single log that explodes into a bunch of tiny balls, that gets EVERYWHERE.
we had a neighbor who hated that we had a goat, some old lady without anything better to do, so she would keep calling animal protection on us, they would come down, see the goat has food and water and shelter and then apologize and leave.
Wow! They cleaned everything!!! I need to hire them!
I’ll definitely keep this in mind for my retirement property. What an amazing way to clear unwanted vegetation. ✊🏻👍🏻
Theylook so happy just eating stuff 😂❤❤❤❤
They were! 🤩❤️
Incredible. What a brilliant idea.
Great so see the outcome. This makes me want goats!
Thanks for watching!!
👍🏽 this is the coolest thing ever.
Thanks for watching!
I have sheep because they eat most of the brambles but leave my trees alone. A bit more picky, put still turn brush into 'lawn' over time.
Do you use your sheep for milk as well? I have two overgrown meadows behind my house and just today was thinking about fencing them in to rotate for a couple goats. I plan to have a dairy animal, and have considered goats. But I prefer the mannerisms of sheep, as I spent time on my grandpas ranch as a child and the sheep were always my favorite animal. I’m curious what the flavor profile is bt the two milks. :)
I used to work in California farm land. They will use goats/sheep to clear fields and fertilize the ground. They can close down a road for 10-20 minutes, moving goats/sheep from one side of the road to the other. Don't mess with a herd dog! They can be VERY aggressive!
That's a great idea I thought of it decades ago like 30-40 years ago just never thought to bring it to life great idea they sure will clear it
The goats need a lunch break soon👍
Hardest workers ever and I love them ❤️
Our county officials hire goats, we often see herds of them on hillsides. Growing up we had one goat who kept the grass down, no noisy lawn mowers are awesome. If I had the money and that problem, I'd gladly pay more just to have the quiet.
That is such a good idea! I am in the process of selling my dad's property after his death and it gets so worrisome to constantly find someone to cut the grass! I might just check around the area and see if someone around there would let me rent their goats to cut the grass!
WOW,those goats were munching out maaan!!!
Coooool.
It was so fun to watch! 😃
im a gardener in nz have dreamed of this ideas for years...
How can you not smile the whole video, what an awesome business and idea, makes me want to not mow my lawn for a few months 😂
Hahaha thanks for watching!
What an amazing win-win undertaking!
Right?! Thanks for watching!
I've seen goat videos b/4, but for some reason yours are more interesting...
Haha thank you!!
Luscious overgrowth into a desert in a couple of days.
Fun and work is possible with goats.
That's insane how much they are in such a short amount of time!
What a sweet process! Loved it!!❤
Thanks for watching!!
Love this. Thank you. I had about a dozen goats on 30 acres. They were very selective about what they ate and never cleared the land like this. They did a lot of grazing on grass. Evidently they have to be crowded and competitive to eat everything like this. Or maybe it is the breed choices. Mine were mostly Nigerian. I learned a lot about edible plants by watching mine. I would research their favorite plants and they always were the highest in nutrients and usually edible for humans. I didn’t even know they could just eat everything like this. Mine never did.
Thank you for watching!!! 🙏🏻
This is my dream job.
Well you got the yard cleared and fertilized
Yep 😂
Cant believe I am downloading this video from RUclips. How brilliant
Thanks for taking us along. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Omg they even have their own watch dog 😎😎🥰🥰🥰 i need this in my life 🥰🥰🥰
You won’t regret it 🥰
That was the best thing to watch??and enjoyable. On the business side of things no weeding or Brushcutting 😁and free manure.
No worries about the "pellets" they leave behind because they're good fertilizer for the garden.
Exactly!! 😃💩
Ive seen how this is catching on! Its an Awesome Eco friendly concept ~
Considering what it would have cost to have it done by a mechanical crew, or time youd spend?
I think its a pretty Awesome and amazing barter/ exchange 😊❤
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
This is such a cool way of doing it.
GOAT for a reason !!
I have never been amazed for so long not atleast in these type of before and after. Awesomeness
As Asian, renting goats is new to me. Never think about it before. I don't think it will work in my country, but that's a great idea 😁
Im also asian. Its pretty normal where im from ph
oh my dog. Yesterday I think can be possible restore landscape using goats, today I see these video Renting goats 😀
