Struggling to find a local goat grazing service?

Goats On The Go affiliates continue to pop up across the country in the last few years (see goatsonthego.com/affiliate directory). Ohio property owners and managers have a great interest in using goats as part of their land management strategy. But the number one difficulty for them is finding a local provider.

We often receive inquiries from across the state and in neighboring states, but in order for us to provide the best care for our goats, and the most professional and most economical service for our clients, we stay within our designated territory of service, preferably within a 30-40 minute drive from our farm. (see your state's goatsonthego.com providers pages and click on "map").

While we only know our co-Goats On The Go affiliates well enough to recommend them, we do try to give "too far to serve" inquirers some leads for contacting and vetting a targeted goat grazing service, usually pointing them to hiregoats.com. Recently we've come across a "goat scaping" service based in Petersburg, Kentucky. We're sharing their information here, so that our fellow-Ohioans (and folks in Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia!) can check them out!

Great Information from FlockWorks regarding goats' well-being when grazing on these super hot days.

By far, the most common question we're getting now is how the goats handle heat. Essentially, if it's too hot for the goats... If they are at risk.

We've had working goats for well over a decade and heat spells are not uncommon or foreign to them.

To start with, a goat's internal body temperature is usually around 101.5° to 103.5° (even 104° is considered normal by most vets). They run a fair amount hotter than us to begin with. Secondly, goats are native to a part of the world that's generally quite a bit hotter than the temperatures that we have. These hot days don't seem to feel nearly as hot to them as they do to us.

We've talked to people face-to-face when it's extremely hot out and people have expressed concern about the welfare of the goats in the heat.

Usually during that conversation they're pointing to the goats laying down and chewing their cud. The first aspect of this is that a goat chewing its cud is a sign that everything is right with them, of general good health and comfort. Secondly, often they're pointing at the goats where typically at least a percentage of the herd is choosing to lay in full sun. It's not surprising that one or two of these in the full sun is a black goat.

That right there should give you a good idea that they aren't particularly uncomfortable in the high temperatures. When they can lay in the shade, but choose to lay in the sun, you know they are not at the end of their heat limit and probably aren't even uncomfortable.

The last thing, a goats digestive system is essentially a bioactivated fermentation system that produces heat. Goats will shift what time of day they eat so that the fermentation, the heating process, peaks during the night if they're getting towards the end of their comfort zone.

The information above is based on about 15 years of working hands on with goats. If you go online, you will definitely find some conflicting information. You'll find recommendations that are very different than the way we manage our animals. To the best of our knowledge, we've never had any health related issues due to heat.

As always, there's more details on our website and you can feel to reach out if you have questions.

GOOD FOR GARDENING & W**D SUPPRESSION
(and creating great soil for diverse, native regrowth!)

As we are soon moving out of optimal poison ivy grazing season, it's a good time to take a look at tools that work well with goat grazing for conquering one of the most difficult to suppress unwanted plants. Mulching over cardboard, topped with deep arborists' wood chips, after a goat graze, could be a winning combination
