ScapeGoats was born out of need, after my family purchased a 20 acre farm in Lincoln, CA. The farm was home to hundreds of oak trees, pasture grasses, weeds and vines, on a hilly, uneven terrain, difficult for gas guzzling machines and humans to access. We needed a fire-safe, eco-friendly, competitively priced option to reduce the fire fuel while mitigating invasive species like poison oak, Himalayan blackberry, and noxious weeds like Star Thistle and Medusa Head.
Having grown up with livestock, we knew the opportunity was ripe for goats and set out to find a team of varying breeds to address our diverse menu. We decided to adopt an all-male team of Boers, Lamanchas and Kikos.
With each breed having their own dietary preferences and habits, we are able to effectively address diverse grazing needs. Additionally, we have brought our own 20 acres into a sustainably managed, rotational process of fire fuel reduction and vegetation management all while abating poison oak and blackberry from our land.
