Long before the Tank, Rent A Goat had caught the media’s eye. The company and the broader goat-rental trend were featured by outlets including The Wall Street Journal, NBC’s Today Show, Live! with Regis and Kelly, and CNN, and it earned a nod in Entrepreneur’s roundup of brilliant companies.

The Season 5 pitch was the natural peak of that momentum — the moment the concept reached its largest single audience. Even without a deal, the cumulative coverage established Rent A Goat as the media’s go-to example of goat grazing.
That press history is part of why the company is still the name people associate with the service.
