Our New Natural Area Mowers!

We welcomed Boer Goats to the property on Saturday, June 20th. These goats are on the golf course for the next two weeks, potentially longer. During this trial period, we will see how fast an area can be cleared, what vegetation they like to eat the most, and how much they like living on a golf course.

To our knowledge, Radrick Farms may be the first golf course in Michigan to utilize goats for vegetative management. This project is potentially a viable environmentally friendly approach to clearing unwanted or invasive species. Regardless of the results, this should be an entertaining experiment to say the least.

Electric fencing to contain the goats.

While these goats are on-site, an electric fence will be used to contain them as well as provide protection from any predators. Please, for the safety and health of our goats, don't feed or pet them. If a golf ball goes into their pen, please do not try to retrieve it.  Play the area as ground under repair.

The goats are already at work clearing brush.

Please help us welcome our newest Team members to Radrick Farms!
