I have a strange question...

[smileyfacecat]

how safe is it to let animals, lets say goats, graze on grass over a septic system's leech field?

The horses here do it all the time, and have so for years with no ill effects.

If your system is functioning properly, what's coming out of the leach beds should be just water. I read somewhere that a good septic system is way more environmentally friendly than a sewer system.

No probelo

No problem at all. When we lived in Virginia we seeded ours with clover for the deer. They loved it and it always was the greenest spot of the yard.

No issue at all here.

The house next to our property has a anarobic, aerobic, arobic, (sp????) anyway, they have the kind that squirts water all over the yard. Different renters have had livestock in the yard at different times. Where the water squirted was covered with lush green grass, but horses or goats, neither one would eat it.

A passive septic with a leach field on the other hand, has good grass and I have seen livestock graze the grass growing on it.

Yeah, That would be a nice way in my opinion too.
