Got Goats?

We have a temporary addition to the Agronomy team, over the course of the next 30 days we will have goats on site. There is a total of 400 goats that will be maintaining 30 acres of over growth in the native areas around the course, eating most of the thistle and harding grass down to 2-4". Mostly in the areas between holes, such as between 8 and 9, 6 and 8, as well as between 11 and 12 where they will be starting .

This process of natural grazing has several benefits as it requires very minimal input.



Have you ever wondered what 400 goats looks like?


Wonder no more.

 The video below shows the goats being moved from the lots left of # 6 tee towards #8.

The video below shows the goats being be corralled between 6 and 8.

The video below shows the goats crossing in front of the bridge on #11. This is where they will be starting.

This photo is left of # 11 fairway, in their first pen. 

When you are on the course, please don't touch the fence containing the goat as its electric. It serves to contain and protect the goats from any predators.



The Electric fences around the goats are powered by a battery.
