Scape Goats Ranch · western Colorado
Working with goats.
Working with land.
Scape Goats Ranch is home to our herd, our land stewardship projects, ranch goods, and Scape Goats Grazing, our professional targeted grazing and vegetation-management service based in Montrose, Colorado.
What Can Goats Do for Your Land?
Targeted grazing puts the natural browsing behavior of goats to work toward specific vegetation-management goals.
Different properties call for different approaches, but goats can be especially useful where unwanted vegetation, brush, accumulated fuels, or difficult terrain make conventional management challenging.
Fuels Reduction
Reduce selected vegetation and accumulated fuels as one component of broader wildfire-risk management.
Weed Management
Suppress selected unwanted vegetation and reduce standing biomass as part of a longer-term management strategy.
Brush Management
Use natural browsing behavior to work through woody and shrubby vegetation that can be difficult to reach mechanically.
Difficult Terrain
Manage vegetation on slopes, rocky ground, irrigation corridors, and other areas where machinery may be impractical.
The Ranch Behind the Herd
Scape Goats Ranch is where the working herd lives year-round and where our broader work with livestock, soil, vegetation, water, and regenerative land management takes place.
The Ranch is more than the home base for Scape Goats Grazing. It is where we learn from the animals and the land every day.
The Herd
Meet the goats behind the work and learn how their health, behavior, and browsing habits shape what they can accomplish in the field.
The Land
Follow our work with grazing, soil, water, vegetation, and regenerative land management.
The Soap
Small-batch goat milk soap made as part of the Ranch operation.
Service Area
