Let's Goat Buffalo

“We have converted an old retired school bus, and the back end of the bus is a barn, a traveling barn for the goats, and the front end of the bus is like a tiny home. So it has a shower and a toilet and a stove and a bed so that a herder can actually manage tha…”

“These are all rescued animals that we're using, so these are goats that are either retired from dairy farming because they've aged out, or they have some sort of injury or illness that makes them not viable for traditional farming.”

“So for 50,000 dollars, we can purchase an outfit, a brand new bus, we can hire a full-time herder, and that person can then go and sustain their own unit of Let's Go Buffalo.”

“We deliberately priced down for private jobs where we don't have to be publicly facing. We don't have to have a herder there all day, every day. We're able to bring that down to a base rate of 1500 a week.”

“When goats eat, they actually sterilize everything that they're eating, so it's a really ideal way of dealing with invasive plants or problem plants or things like poison ivy that we don't want there, because that plant can't regrow from the goat's waste.”

“Generally speaking, if we're public facing, which means we're in a park and we're managing the public, we have to have a herder on site every day. It's about 2500 dollars a week, but you can clear quite a bit of land in that week.”

“So for an acre of something like raspberry plants, multiflora rose, about 15 goats could clear the acre in about two, two and a half weeks.”
