Introducing…Amazin’ Grazers
The Eco-Friendly, Fun Way to Clear Your Land
What It Is
You’ve seen the press for Rent-A-Ruminant on Nightline, The Colbert Report, Komo News, and in the Issaquah Press and wondered if you could get that same service on a smaller scale. The answer is YES! Amazin’ Grazers is the first and currently only, affiliate of Rent-A-Ruminant operating in Western Washington. We specialize in the small jobs — ¼ acre or less.
We use a herd of up to 15 goats to clear yards, easements, smaller areas for businesses and other properties primarily along the I-5 corridor from Edmonds to Federal Way. Other areas may also be possible depending on scheduling.
Why It’s Good
Goats are gaining in popularity for clearing unwanted and invasive brush for many reasons. Areas in the southwest United States are using goats for fire prevention, and urban areas are finding that goats can work in areas where people cannot, like steep hills and near protected areas. Using this method means you don’t have to rent loud equipment, deal with permits, discard lots of debris or put in the labor yourself. Goats are earth friendly — they even create great fertilizer! They are efficient, often cost less than other methods, and they fun to have around in the community!
How We Work
- First, we do an assessment of the area to be cleared.
- Next, we set up fencing and a water supply.
- The we deliver the herd.
- While the herd is on site, we provide 24-hour on-site supervision.
- We give the goats mineral supplements and hay as needed to stimulate their appetite.
- What the goats don’t eat is cleared by hand by the wrangler for a more “finished” look.
