Arkansas Oklahoma Gas (AOG) has partnered with Goats on the Go Ft. Smith to clear weeds and brush from areas near your property using a method called “targeting grazing.”
Targeted grazing is the application of a specific kind of livestock to accomplish defined vegetation or landscape goals. It is also known as “conservation grazing,” or “prescribed grazing.”
Targeted grazing controls problem vegetation without erosion, chemicals, or the disruption and burning of fossil fuels that comes with mechanization. This method is a short-duration, professional service with serious benefits for property owners.
The goats stay in the targeted area for just a few days, or until their job is done.
To keep the goats contained, Goats on the Go installs temporary electric fencing to enclose the parts of the property that are designated for grazing. The electric fence is powered by a solar-charged power source. As a safety precaution, people are asked to not touch the fence or interfere with the goats' work in any way.
Goats on the Go checks on the goats regularly and carefully monitors the progress of the grazing project but doesn’t typically stay on-site constantly. The goats often sleep under the stars on customers' properties but depending on location and the anticipated length of stay, the goats may go home overnight.
The goats aren't aggressive towards people, do not harm the surrounding vegetation and do their jobs in silence.
