About Renting Goats from Goat Central ™Developing the plan is like planning your vacation. Have you ever packed your suitcase before knowing your destination? Hmm-the swimsuit just may not work in Vail, Colorado in the winter. Your destination determines how you plan to get there and what you will need. And just as your vacation is planned, so must vegetation management. Knowing what your goal (destination) is will determine what you pack (fencing equipment) and number of suitcases you bring (# of goats, other tools). The distance you have to travel to get there (stocking number, length of time to work) will determine if you go by air (large adult goats) or by car (young weanoffs). In each project we
As you can see, there can be no set pricing. Each project is as individual as it can be. Each project will vary on the need of each item contained in the table and then some. We do try to keep the pricing flexible. Goat projects are more then just putting them on a site and letting them go. Without proper management or monitoring, these wonderfully crazy critters can be awesomely destructive. If their behavior is not properly managed, the project results could be devastating instead of successful. Renting our goats is not without challenges, but is rewarding work. What ever you call it, it is the act of reducing vegetation-brush, weeds-to a desired level. Each job is priced individually, based upon the amount of work we do. There are a variety of things that go into pricing a project. Topography for one. Steep, rocky terrain is much harder to set up then a flat, soil rich field. We try to be fair and equitable in our bidding. Generally speaking, $700 per acre is an average cost, but is no means an actual cost. It can be more, it can be less.
