Biology:Goat groundskeeping
From HandWiki
Goat groundskeeping is the use of goats to eat vegetation as a form of landscape maintenance or conservation grazing. As goats are herd animals, several goats are usually used together and so companies such as California Grazing, Eco-Goats and Rent A Goat exist to rent such herds out, as needed.[1] This may be expensive and their smell may be a nuisance.[2]
Landscape maintenance
Targeted grazing
Chattannooga, TN and Spartanburg, SC have used goats to control kudzu, an invasive plant species prevalent in the southeastern United States.[3]
