More Than Mowing
Put the flock to work on unwanted vegetation.
GrazeScape's sheep don't just eat grass. Managed grazing can help suppress certain invasive plants, weeds, vines, and unwanted vegetation found throughout Indiana.
Every property and plant community is different. GrazeScape evaluates vegetation before grazing to determine whether sheep are an appropriate management tool.
How It Works
Four steps from overgrown to grazed
A simple, professionally managed process.

We Evaluate the Site
GrazeScape evaluates acreage, vegetation, terrain, access, water availability, fencing requirements, livestock safety, and other site conditions.
The Flock Arrives
Farmer Brad transports the sheep and necessary portable grazing equipment to the property.
The Sheep Get to Work
The flock grazes designated areas and is rotated according to the property's grazing plan.
This is a managed grazing service — not sheep rental.
GrazeScape remains responsible for the management of the flock for the duration of a project. You are never asked to feed, water, move, or care for the sheep.
Why GrazeScape?
A practical vegetation-management tool
Managed grazing is one option among many. Here is where it can help.
- Natural vegetation management
- Useful for some difficult-to-mow areas
- Quiet vegetation control
- Reduced use of mowing equipment during grazing
- Less soil disturbance than some heavy equipment
- Turns suitable vegetation into livestock forage
- Can complement existing property-maintenance programs
- Available for recurring grazing programs
- Unique and highly visible land-management approach
Every property is different. GrazeScape evaluates each site to determine whether sheep are an appropriate vegetation-management option. Sheep do not eliminate the need for mowing, herbicides, or other vegetation-management methods, and grazing is not suitable everywhere.
Important Distinction
Grazing Is Management, Not Magic
Sheep are a vegetation-management tool, not an instant eradication method. Some established invasive species have extensive root systems or mature woody stems that sheep cannot eliminate simply by eating the foliage.
Managed grazing can be particularly useful for:
- Removing foliage
- Suppressing new growth
- Reducing plant vigor
- Interrupting seed production when properly timed
- Managing regrowth after mechanical clearing
- Repeatedly applying grazing pressure
- Accessing some terrain that is difficult to mow
Some properties may benefit from an integrated approach combining grazing with mowing, cutting, forestry work, prescribed vegetation treatments, or other control methods. GrazeScape never promises that grazing will permanently eliminate an invasive species.
Not everything green belongs on the menu.
GrazeScape evaluates properties for vegetation that may be toxic or otherwise unsafe for livestock before grazing. If potentially hazardous plants or site conditions are present, the property may not qualify for grazing until those hazards are addressed.
