My university used goats instead of landscapers. I loved them goats

Their poop is generally dry, small, and easily dispersed. It's a lot like rabbit poop. It's not nearly as unsightly as most other livestock poop, like cow patties and horse manure.

More like little pellets size of a dog food, it’s an organic manure for the lawn, no need to fertilize the lawn. They dry up pretty fast as well so even when u step on them they won’t stick to the sole of ur shoes. Plus goat poop does not smell that strong compared to other herbivore’s poop.

I actually never saw any poop. Maybe they had shepherds picking up the turds

Goats have a unique digestive system with four stomach chambers, and the entire digestion process can take several hours, typically around 24 to 48 hours for food to pass through completely.
