We normally use workers with mowers and other gas-powered machines to clear these areas. Goat power has decidedly less greenhouse gas emissions and is better for the environment. Goats also sterilize weed seed through their digestive process, preventing new plants from taking root. And, four legs are also better than two when it comes to storming some rocky, weed-infested areas.

The three goat deployment locations were chosen to ensure we are testing the goats – and costs –in different situations and on different terrains. All costs, including labor, feed, transportation and fencing, will be recorded during the weed wars – some lasting a few days, others a good chunk of the summer.

The findings will be published in a WSDOT Research Report, which will be shared with other states and the national Transportation Research Board. Goat “mowing” is growing in popularity, but few states have comprehensive cost/benefits figures.
