weed control

Eliminate invasive plant growth while allowing indigenous vegetation to thrive – the natural way.

Out of all the Animals...

WHY gOATS?

Great question! Why not sheep or cows, or alpacas? Goats prefer broad leaf and flowering weeds, and we can actually target specific invasive species of plants.

JOB LOCATION VISITS

The team visits numerous sites to work on weed control, and occasionally the job site is a public park, accessible to the community. Contact us to learn if the goats are performing in a public park near you!

VISIT THE FARM

Whe not actively grazing on a gig, our crew is happily resting at the farm. Home is in Magrath, Southern Alberta, where the goats share the range with horses and highland cattle.

PRAIRIE MADE MARKET

Creekside Goats live at Pothole Creek Ranch, which also hosts the monthly Prairie Made Market. The market hosts local artisans who share their wares with visitors from all over southern Alberta.

Terry Willam

I wish I had discovered this great option before I risked so much natural vegetation with herbicides. Such a no-brainer when we keep looking for more natural ways to solve our vegetation problems. It doesn't hurt that these creatures are so adorable.

Miranda Nelson

I enjoy my daily walks in our parks, and it's such a treat to see these beautiful animals doing this work, and knowing that my city isn't putting harmful chemicals into our environment. The herders are so nice and happy to answer questions as well.

Conrad Peterson

Thank you for letting me spend part of my afternoon with you. I learned more about noxious weeds than I thought I would, and I really anjoyed watching the goats so effortessly working through these weeds. We will use your services again.

OUR PROJECTS

ON THE JOB

The crew working away at Indian Battle Park and Cottonwood Park, in Lethbridge, AB. The project was targeting leafy spurge amongst other invasive plant species in the city’s public parks. Each project took several weeks to complete, while locals enjoyed visiting the crew and learning about the city’s initiative towards a more eco-friendly solution to maintaining the parks.
