Q&A

How does goat grazing help with overgrown shrubs and frost-damaged lawns in St. Peter?

For overgrown shrubs, our goats and sheep are excellent browsers. They can reach and clear out dense, thorny, or woody undergrowth that is difficult and labor-intensive to trim back manually. For lawns recovering from winter frost damage, our herd can help by gently grazing down dead or matted grass, which allows sunlight and air to reach the soil and promotes healthy new growth. This natural cleanup process returns nutrients directly to the ground, acting as a gentle fertilizer to help your lawn recover without harsh chemical treatments.

What types of properties or vegetation do you manage?

Our herd is versatile and manages a variety of properties, from private rural acreage and residential lots to public spaces like city parks. We specialize in controlling invasive species such as buckthorn, honeysuckle, and garlic mustard, as well as managing general overgrowth of brush, weeds, and tough perennial plants. The service is particularly effective on uneven or sensitive terrain where machinery can't easily operate.

Is the grazing process safe for my property and the animals?

Absolutely. Safety for the land, our animals, and your property is our priority. We use portable, secure fencing to contain the herd specifically in the target area. Our animals are supervised daily, and we work with you to identify and protect any desirable plants or sensitive areas beforehand. The grazing process is non-invasive—it doesn't compact the soil like heavy equipment and leaves behind natural fertilizer to benefit the ecosystem.

Company Overview

Founded in St. Peter, Goettl Grove offers a natural land management solution using a herd of grazing goats and sheep. The service began in 2016 with just four dairy goats and has since grown to help property owners, municipalities, and businesses manage overgrowth and invasive plants without chemicals or heavy machinery. This method, known as targeted grazing, allows the animals to selectively eat problem vegetation, returning nutrients to the soil through natural fertilization. It’s a quieter, more sustainable approach to landscaping that supports local ecosystem health and reduces the carbon footprint associated with traditional maintenance. Goettl Grove brings this time-tested, environmentally conscious service directly to properties throughout the St. Peter area.
