Targeted Grazing
At The Big Crunch, we offer a unique and sustainable solution for managing obnoxious and invasive vegetation – targeted grazing with the help of sheep and goats.
Targeting grazing is a green, clean and cute way to control and prevent the spread of invasive plants and weeds.
Goat Grazing
How it started
I started The Big Crunch in 2023 after 8 years in the targeted grazing industry. I now offer this important and sustainable service to clients all over Ontario, Canada.
Sheep and goat grazing is a green solution for unwanted weeds that doesn’t involve harmful herbicides or heavy machinery. At the Big Crunch we let goats and sheep work with the land instead of working against it.
If you're looking to control vegetation on your property in a green and sustainable way, be sure to give me a call.

Why Targeted Grazing Works
The Targeted Grazing technique is a highly effective tool to battle a wide range of vegetation challenges. These include controlling invasive weeds, establishing firebreaks, and finding chemical-free ways to reduce and manage plant life of all kinds.
Targeted grazing is particularly well suited to control unwanted weeds, such as Thistles, Giant Hogweed, Wild Parsnip, Spurges, Phragmites, Vines, Alfalfa, Absinthe, Buckthorn, Garlic Mustard, and Spotted Knapweed to name a few.
(A list with more examples of noxious and invasive weeds goats and sheep can help clear out, see the FAQs)
Goats and sheep will tackle weeds that are considered toxic or a public health issue. They can access areas that are steep, rocky, wet, or have other hazards that do not allow access by mowing equipment and when chemicals are unwanted.
If you have questions about specific types of weeds or a designated area, feel free to reach out.
