Carey's Eco Goats

Carey's Eco Goats Carey's Eco Goats is a fully insured and licensed family owned land enhancement business using goats, located in Modoc County near Alturas, California.

We offer a green, environmentally friendly alternative to the use of fossil fuels and herbicides that contribute pollution to our environment. We are dedicated to caring for our community, environment, and the goats, of course! For municipalities, communities, individuals, and companies striving to be green, finally a tool is available that has no negative impact on your community and leaves a min

iscule carbon footprint. What could be more natural than placing goats in an area and letting them do what they do best, consuming vegetation with their only “emissions” being natural fertilizers? Once the goat's meal has been processed by all four stomach chambers, the plant matter is broken down to such an extent that, even if left behind as fertilizer, the plant is unlikely to grow back. It is easy to see that our roadsides, open fields, woodlands and backyards are becoming overrun with invasive species and other unwanted vegetation. Grazing goats can help with fire defense in areas where machines often can't be used. Human hands are obviously labor intensive, and herbicides are dangerous to our waterways, soil, and desired vegetation … not to mention animals and humans. If left unchecked, invasive plants take over our woodlands, strangling valuable trees and threatening important diversity. Open grasslands and neighborhood backyards become overrun, creating a loss of productivity, habitat for birds and other wildlife, and our enjoyment of outdoor space. Carey's Eco Goats also uses “target grazing” to control invasive species like yellow star thistle, for example. Star thistle is highly toxic to horses; cattle will graze it in the rosette to bolting stage but will avoid the w**d beyond the late bud stage, making two or three treatments per year necessary if only grazed in that early stage. Goats will graze yellow star thistle in all growth stages. Grazing during or after flowering with goats may require only one treatment per year, which saves money, prevents reseeding, and thus eliminates the species with just a few treatments. Carey's Eco Goats' mission is to provide you with the best sustainable means of land enhancement that is environmentally sound, fast, easy, and effective. Questions are welcome and estimates are always free. Have a Goat of a Day!
