7 assertions · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 7 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 3 are resolved, 2 are not yet assessed, and 2 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

What the tape says about how Jennifer argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported
Zeitler says 15 goats clear an acre of brush in two weeks
“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.”

Their most notable contradicted claim

Assertion Contradicted
Zeitler: Goats sterilize ingested plant seeds, preventing weed regrowth
“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.”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Jennifer Zeitler on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Zeitler: $50,000 fully funds an expanded Let's Goat Buffalo unit and herder
“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.”

Assertion Contradicted
Zeitler: Grazing goats discern leaves from cocoons and avoid destroying nests
“And the wonderful thing about using goats versus the method that you were just describing is that the goats eat around birds' nests. They eat around chrysalis and cocoons that might be growing on the bush. They can actually discern, like, what's a leaf and wha…”

Disclosure
Let's Goat Buffalo uses a converted school bus as a mobile barn
“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…”
Jennifer Zeitler May 25, 2021 ▶ 17:18 Meet The HIBT Fellows: Dinesh Tadepalli & Jennifer Zeitler
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Zeitler: Let's Goat Buffalo Exclusively Uses Rescued and Retired Dairy Goats
“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.”

Assertion Not publicly verifiable
Let's Goat Buffalo charges $2,500 per week for public-facing jobs
“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.”
Jennifer Zeitler May 25, 2021 ▶ 20:19 Meet The HIBT Fellows: Dinesh Tadepalli & Jennifer Zeitler
Assertion Not publicly verifiable
Let's Goat Buffalo sets a $1,500 weekly base rate for private jobs
“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.”
