At a daily forage rate of 250 square feet per goat, the job required 174.24 goat days. The trailer has a capacity of 25 goats, so it would take 6.97 days for the goats to finish clearing the land. By agreement, McCoy billed for a full trailer (25 goats) for a full day each day the goats were on site. Therefore, McCoy billed the owner for seven calendar days (175 goat days).
