meat is a healthy, low fat
protein. It is preferred by
many cultures around the
world. The demand for goat
meat is growing in the US,
so much so that the US must
import over 50% of its
domestic needs.
Weeds!
It is becoming
increasingly popular to
use goats to remove
undesirable plants.
Goats are a natural,
eco-friendly
alternative to the
chemical and fuel-
based options for
controlling unwanted
vegetation.
