Tammy Dunakin started Rent-a-Ruminant LLC in 2004. She had no idea how to do this business and there were no "how to" books or programs set up to teach her. She had 2 goats and said to them one day "you guys look bored you need a job" and "I am going to start a business and call it Rent-a-Ruminant and hire your butts out to eat brush."

This made Tammy laugh but it was an aha moment that set the ball in motion to a great new career. She lives in the Pacific Northwest on Vashon Island and service cities and towns throughout. Tammy currently has about 140 goats and 2 herding dogs.

They are what she calls Urban Nomads and travel from job to job munching unwanted vegetation as they go.. They live on site. The goats are her friends and are almost all rescues. They are never slaughtered and when they can no longer go on jobs are retired to live out their days on Tammy's farm in peace.
