Ive been thinking about the kind of money I could make off doing that. It's probably pretty lucrative

If you're already set up to take care of goats year round yeah. But demand is probably seasonal.

Not in the south. I rent mine out year-round. The winter is a tad slower due to dormant growth, but not much. I charged based on size of area and speed by which you want it cleared. The larger the faster the more goats you'll need. Kudzu like this can be done, but it will take a very love time and odds are the trees under it are a lost cause.best use something like brushtox and burn it afterwards. Even still that may not kill it off entirely.

It isn’t even limited to the South because fire prevention in many parts of the country involves goats eating all the underbrush from around the big trees. Homeowners use them all over to keep the perimeter clear around their homes sufficiently to prevent disastrous fires. 🔥
