During the week of June 16, you might notice some very special guests in Light Farms. A herd of nearly 400 goats will be moving in (temporarily!) to help with eco-friendly vegetation clearing.
Brought to you by Open Space TX and in collaboration with Collin County MUD No. 1, this natural land-clearing crew is here to munch through 18 acres of overgrown brush and invasive plants — all without heavy machinery or harmful chemicals.
The goats will be focused on the area south of Constellation Lake but north of the Graham neighborhood.
Please feel free to stop by during the week and watch the goats at work!
While the goats are working, we kindly ask for your help:
- Please don’t touch the electric fence
- It’s low voltage but still has a zap — we want everyone to stay safe!
- Please don’t feed the goats
- They’ve got all the snacks they need right under their hooves
- Please keep your dogs from disturbing the goats
- Even the friendliest pup can scare the herd, and scared goats can’t focus on their job
The MUD Board is excited to bring this natural solution to our community and we appreciate your support!
