Goats Save the Environment!

In Auburn, Washington 100 goats were set loose to clear a grassy area of several acres near a retention pond for a Supermall. It took the goats three weeks to clear the area for Glimcher Realty Trust. The animals and their herder cost the company $3,000 for the three weeks. Using landscapers, a company spokesperson says that the same project would have cost $40,000. And no chemicals or gas-powered equipment were necessary to run the goats. Apparently goats eat just about anything in front of them. The project was so successful that the goats were hired for a similar project at Sea-Tac International Airport. Saving money while doing their part to save the environment. It is great what a little ingenuity and a hundred goats can do.
