While the battle rages on about foreigners taking our jobs, these goats are taking gardening jobs right out from under us! But seriously...take a look at this: brush-clearing goats! That’s right, rather than spending tons of money and time on diesel-powered machines, filing the proper permits, and administering dangerous herbicides, the Seattle-based Rent-a-Ruminant organization will loan your a team of 100 goats for all your brush-clearing needs—all at a very modest rates.
As Serious Eats explains, the benefits of goats are numerous: they eat just about anything, they can work on uneven ground, you don’t need permits to use them, and they can clear a quarter-acre in about three days. What’s more, they—ahem—naturally fertilize wherever they go. And of course, they make delicious cheese. In short: better for the environment, the community, and your budget.
