GOATS!

We have a lot of trails and wilderness areas where we live.
Some of the houses are extremely close to that wilderness
which of course can be very dangerous during fire season.
Our association decided to hire 
500 goats 
to do the job of vegetation clearing. 
Apparently it was an 80% savings in cost. 
They put a temporary electric fence around an acre or so
and a big white fluffy dog to keep guard (from the mountain lions)
and let the goats do their thing. 
It was so cool to see so many goats in a small area.
So many people came out to see them...
the kids thought they were the best!
