Edwall, Washington-based Healing Hooves supplies goats and sheep to provide weed control and natural vegetation management to city and county agencies as well as private land-owners who want to control weeds and vegetation without hand-pulling, herbicides, digging or mowing.
Because goats and sheep will eat a wide variety of vegetation, those who keep them for natural vegetation management and weed control must monitor their diets and provide supplemental food, not just weeds to keep the animals healthy.
