A Canadian goat farmer is using an innovative and cost-effective way to fight invasive weeds, which he hopes will be widely adopted across the country.
Conrad Lindblom of Beaverlodge, Alberta, boasts Canada’s only commercial “prescribed goat-grazing” business, which utilizes goats’ formidable appetites to strategically combat weeds.
This week he is in B.C.’s Peace Country with 600 of his goats, along with his wife and five dogs, to tackle an infestation of Dalmatian toadflax, a highly invasive weed that has taken hold along the hillside of the Peace River.
