Every project begins with a site review to determine whether livestock-based management is the right tool for the job.

This review may include:

• Photos and video of the property

• A brief call to understand goals and constraints

• An on-site visit when needed
  
  

We evaluate:

• Vegetation type and density (thicker vegetation means longer time needed)

• Slope, soil conditions, and drainage

• Access, fencing, and water availability (we bring our own supplies if needed)

• Proximity to sensitive areas (streams, homes, public spaces)
  
  

If a site is not a good fit for livestock-based management, we will say so and recommend alternative approaches when appropriate.

Based on the site review, we develop a project-specific recommendation outlining how livestock can be used effectively and responsibly.

This includes:

• Recommended animals (goats, pigs, and/or bees)

• Scope and duration of each phase

• Expected outcomes and limitations

• A realistic timeline based on vegetation and season
  
  

Our recommendations are designed to balance ecological benefit, animal welfare, and client expectations.

Once a project is approved, we provide a written contract and preparation checklist to ensure a smooth deployment.

This phase includes:

• Scope of work and pricing

• Insurance and liability documentation

• Site preparation requirements (access, fencing, water)

• Scheduling and communication plan

Clear preparation helps protect the land, the animals, and everyone involved.

Animals are deployed in short, managed rotations based on site conditions and project goals.  Sometimes we bring them back before dark.  Sometimes they can stay several nights until the job is complete.

During this phase:

• Animals are monitored regularly

• Fencing, water, and shelter are maintained

• Adjustments are made as conditions change

• Animal welfare and site safety are prioritized and overseen by an RVT.

Our team manages daily care and monitoring so clients can focus on outcomes rather than logistics.

When vegetation or soil goals are met, animals are removed and the site enters a recovery phase.

This phase may include:

• Rest periods for regrowth

• Recommendations for reseeding or natural regeneration

• Optional pollinator support through apiary placement

• Guidance for long-term maintenance

Our goal is not just to clear vegetation, but to set the site up for healthier, more manageable conditions over time.
