I saw about 60 goats next to the dog park on my way to work (in urban Seattle between Capitol Hill and downtown). They're there to clear the brush.
Quoted: On my walk downtown this morning, I noticed a heard of goats making short work of the overgrown hillside along I-5, oblivious to the rush hour traffic yards away. The dogs at the park noticed too. One dog’s visit, in fact, had to be cut short, when he tried to jump the fence to reach the greedily grazing goats. (Like he would have known what to do with them if he did manage to make it over the fence.)
It's fun to use Twitter to see people's first reactions to this scene:

This is the goat-rental company (rent a ruminant) that the city hired to clear the brush adjacent to the dog park. See my previous Fave for details. Here is the info if you want to hire a herd for your own purposes:
Quoted: Minimum herd size is 60 goats and 3 days.
The area must be at least 8,000 square feet and have access for a 40 foot truck and trailer.
Tammy lives in her truck on-site and 24-hour access to a bathroom (or Port-A-Potty) must be provided.
60 goats can eat about 1/4 acre (10,000 sq feet) in about 3-5 days.ShareViewed: 12 Times
