They can’t wait to get at your ditch

People often ask about when we retire a milking goat. We’ll keep most of the goats for eight to ten years, and they’ll live another three or so years in retirement. So far, our elderly goats have moved next door. Our neighbor Pattie has provided comfortable browsing and shelter, but there won’t be room for the thirty goats retiring next year, so we have a "Harley Herd" plan! Our goat grannies will be your weedbusters!! We’ll be leading the retired herd to your difficult-to-clear land, keeping them on the premises with portable electric fencing, and polishing off the weeds, including poison oak and bramble. The Harley Herd will start with the local ditches next spring, and we’ll let you know when they’re available for you!
