The grazing math page publishes the whole duration model, and the interactive calculator will run your exact acreage, density, and terrain.

Columbia County's old orchards and field edges around Hudson grow a familiar invasive mix:
Autumn Olive
Colonizes old orchard and field ground fast. Goats defoliate and bark-strip it
Multiflora Rose
Swallows retired farmland across the county. Goats reclaim it
Oriental Bittersweet
Drapes hedgerows and barn lots. Goats strip everything in reach
Japanese Knotweed
Along the waterfront and creek lines. Season-long grazing knocks it back
Also on the menu: honeysuckle, phragmites, barberry, wineberry, and mile-a-minute vine. Full list on the services page.
