HOUSTON – Everyone’s favorite ruminants, the goats from Rent-A-Ruminant Texas, are baaaaaack at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center to help “mow” and clear out the vegetation in two parts of the Woodland area.
The goats will start between the Display Walk, 610 Parking Loop, and Ravine Trail, and after the first week they will move to their second grazing location along the Inner Loop between the Muscadine and South Meadow Trails.
The two sections where the goats will work cover almost 7 acres of land, and the public is welcome to come out and watch them work.
The popular animals last hit town in May 2024 when they grazed on the vegetation and invasive species around the Meadow area. This will be their sixth visit, with the first being in 2020. Approximately 150 goats will be chewing away under the direction of Rent-a-Ruminant® owners Kyle and Carolyn Carr.
The goats will most likely be on site through next Monday, 5/19, but make sure you check the website for updates before heading out.
Watch as Lauren Kelly, Christine Mansfield and Kyle Carr get an up-close look at how much “mowing” the goats have already done.
