Goats Eat Weeds - Farm to Fork Wyoming

In Wyoming battles between sheepherders and cattlemen are legendary and harrowing. With that turbulent history it is a little surprising that the daughter of an old Wyoming ranching family is a leading force behind weed management with goats today. We’ll learn about the clever niche Lonie Malmberg and her son Donny have carved for goats in the heart of Cheyenne city limits. We’ll also meet a pair of goat herders weed managing for ranchers in the Devils Tower area.

That lady with Green Goat LLC sure knew everything there is to know about plants, soil and remediation! She's a walking encyclopedia!

My township started using goats to maintain steep, hard to reach areas with goats. They string 4 feet high plastic fence around the area they want cleared and dump 40 goats. They always attract a large crowd of spectators, me being one of them. The before/after is startling. Briars, cockle burrs, tangle shoot, Ivey, you name it they will eat through it like a chainsaw through balsa wood. And they’re fun to watch.

I wish ALL farmers and ranchers could see this. Wonderful work!

Great video! Lani, your soil knowledge is mighty top shelf, and you explain it in such down-to-earth, easy-to-understand language. The producers and operators in this video were excellent representatives of graziers and stockmen! Thank you, enjoyed this very much :)

Lani's laughter just makes me happy! She's the salt of the earth kinda person that will make everything good with her pure heart..

I wish more people knew this. The entire ecosystem needs to be better understood and protected for the benefit of everything. And Lani is right, it’s so fun to watch the goats. I just love them!

It's kinda funny that with all our technology we are now realizing and relearning the old ways are not so bad after all.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Kudos.

I have known Lani for many years. She has an agricultural back ground. She went to Colorado State University and got her masters degree in weed management. She had dedicated her life to this work. She is extremely intelligent in this field

This is such a wonderful ecological solution to "weeds"!! I hope it becomes universal, I really do. THANKS!!

I found this video after watching about the goat herd escape in San Jose. This was an amazing learning experience for this city slicker. She is an encyclopedia of weeds. I now know what is growing in my back yard. I told my adult children that I want a kid for Father's day.

This Lani Lady is off the chain! I could listen to her ALL DAY!

[closeenoughproductions]

They picked GREAT people to interview. This is so interesting and informative. I love listening to people who are passionate about what they do. Learned so much, unexpectedly haha

You just can’t beat goats. We need to get more professional goat herds and cut out the chemicals. Goats are just the perfect machine.

Love watching goats. Lani is a joy to listen to. She's so intelligent and has such an up personality and lovely humor she makes one smile while being educated.

[bluetoad]

Lani is the smartest land manager i've ever heard talk about the process

[TomoyoTatar]

I admire the lady who knows all these things about plants and she doesnt even slaughter them. Good on her!!💗 I wish her much health.

Self-fertilizing lawnmowers....love it

Wow, I‘ve always liked goats, but now I‘m a total fan! When twenty seven minutes go by in a flash and I don’t want it to end, that’s a truly great documentary in my book. I‘ve come away quite impressed with the impact and work of the goats, the dogs and their keepers. Lani, letting us in on your deep knowledge of the effects of „goating“ and sharing your Humor is spellbinding. Your my new hero! 😉

[glenngoodale]

The educational value of this short video cannot be emphasized to much

[makhetefall]

That Lady is so smart that it gives me so much joy to listen to her. You are my hero.
