Goat Update Week 4

This will be our fourth and final week of having the goats graze. They will be starting in between the 1st and 2nd fairways on #12, TTuesday. From there they will work right of the cart path by 12 tee, and move down the right side of #6 fairway. By Sunday the goats will be staged at the lots left of #5 for pick up.

 

Below are photos of last weeks progress.

Goat Update Week 3

This past week the goats have grazed several areas. Including left of the second landing on #18, right of the cart path on #10, all the way behind #9 Green, and #8 tee. This week they will be starting out between #8 and #9. They will then be moved to graze the slope left of the practice center by the main road, down to the home lots, and by Sunday they should be by the ponds in between the tee's and fairway on #6.

Below are photos of last weeks progress.

Goat Update Week 2

We are going on our second week of the grazing project. So far the goats have been going faster than we first anticipated, so we are going to be adding a few more areas to be grazed. This week we will be working in between the cart path on #10 and #7 all the way up to the walk bridge. From there we will move to the left side of #18 and work our way back  behind #9 green to #8 tee. 

Below I have photos showing the progress of the goats and there grazing.   

This is the first area that the goats grazed.

This is what it looked like the next day.

This is were the goats are currently grazing. In this photo you can see the shepard has fenced off a stream that we are protecting. This keeps the goats from grazing it.
