Keara Broadhead unexpectedly became a goatherd in 2020 to manage invasive Himalayan blackberries on her property. She started with two goats and rapidly grew her herd to 22 through Craigslist acquisitions. The Broadheads incorporated their goats into a business named Go Goat in 2023. Now, the herd is booked through 2025, providing natural vegetation management across various settings, including parks and private properties. Their approach not only offers an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides but also addresses wildfire prevention in an increasingly dry area.
Keara Broadhead's goat herd started as a solution to invasive blackberries and has evolved into a thriving sustainable business, offering goatscaping services across Oregon.
The Broadheads now own 22 goats, which they’ve turned into a booking success, with work scheduled up to 2025 for ecological land management and fire prevention.
Goat herding offers a chemical-free alternative to conventional plant management, attracting customers from city parks to state parks, showcasing goats' impressive foraging capabilities.
What began with a Craigslist purchase has transformed into a recognized ecological service, highlighting a unique blend of sustainable agriculture and small business entrepreneurship in the modern era.
