Organic weed control

weed Clearing Machines

We offer an alternative to the traditional methods of machinery and herbicides, by using Goats which will suit many weed infested locations in North Queensland.

It is an organic solution that requires no fuel – apart from that used to transport them to site – and generates only biodegradable waste, the nutrients are cycled, improving the soil with nitrogen rich manure.

Goats eat a huge variety of weeds, aided by their evolved livers that cope with the tannins in foraged foods and their prehensile lips, enabling them to negotiate their way around thorns and prickles 

Goats work well at removing weeds in habitat restoration and revegetation areas, then as weeds re-shoot and re-foliate the goats will continue to defoliate those weeds, effectively starving the plant and killing it.

Goats provide an efficient, environmentally friendly, chemical-free vegetation management solution that is gentle on the landscape, eliminating invasive plants, weeds, and fire hazards using no herbicides or heavy machinery, allowing the return of grasses and native vegetation. 

Goats are light, agile movers, which damage land less than heavy equipment, preferentially grazing the weed, placing it at a disadvantage. This prevents the weed from flowering and dispersing seed, ringbarking or structurally weakening some species.  Goats provide an efficient, environmentally friendly, chemical-free vegetation management solution that is gentle on the landscape, eliminating invasive plants, weeds, and fire hazards using no herbicides or heavy machinery, allowing the return of grasses and native vegetation.

Efficient and quiet vegetation removal

No harmful chemicals or stressful fires

Weed seeds are destroyed in the goats’ gut and will not be spread

Goats work in steep or rough terrain which is inaccessible to machinery and unsafe for people

Soil compaction is avoided and grazing and fertilizing improves the soil

Minimal debris and much less to haul away or burn

Goats have been used for centuries in different cultures as meat, for their milk, textile production, as pack animals, for companionship, manure production and we just love them as four-legged brush clearing machines
