• Your Natural Defense Against Sparks and Citations. (citynewsgroup.com) — Grand Terrace property owners are increasingly hiring goat and sheep grazing crews to clear brush, reduce wildfire risk, and stay compliant with defensible-space rules. Instead of noisy machinery or chemicals, these professional herds quietly eat tough vegetation on steep or hard-to-reach terrain, leaving behind natural fertilizer and safer, cleaner lots for nearby homes.
