What is goat grazing?
According to Goat Bros Grazing Services, the company Superior has partnered with, goat grazing can help control vegetation, mitigate the risk of wildfires and provide natural fertilization to the land.
The areas set for grazing will be encircled by electric fencing. People should not enter the grazing areas, as the goats will be busy at work.
The vendor will reportedly have herding dogs inside the fenced-in area. The vendor will also be on the site throughout the grazing period to monitor the goats.
