Thrall mostly takes jobs for 20 acres or more and runs 500 to 700 goats on a property after setting up a hot-wire fence. About 250 are needed to clean an acre a day, unless there’s heavy vegetation. People hire Thrall’s and Gonzales’ goats for flat land and hills. Thrall and Gonzales have regular contracts with cities and school districts, counties, state-owned properties such as the college and federal land owners.Īt least 10 years ago, the city of Norco hired goats for weed abatement on 122 acres now home to Silverlakes Sports Complex.īrought from Oregon, the goats took care of 40 percent of the land but got sick from a tobacco relative, said Assistant City Manager Brian Petree, who recommended goats for hilly terrain. Their animals chomp down shrubs, brush, grass and other plants - known as browse - for regular landscaping maintenance and to create defensible buffers of low-brush areas around houses and other buildings for wildfire protection.

He plans to buy 100 more goats this winter. He’s getting five to six calls a week, while he got at most one call a week last year. That means fire danger will be high this summer, Gonzales said. Heavy rain since October has made plants grow like crazy. Gonzales and his friend and fellow goat owner, Corona-based B & T Cattle owner Rance Thrall, said they’re getting more requests for work than they can handle this year.
