Yay! My favorite city employs goats to my neighborhood, and city owned “greenbelt” (read: “fire-hazard”).

We awakened to goats outside our back fence this morning and were elated! So glad to see the city being proactive on this, our Urban/Wildland interface. So pleased to see them use this time-honored (not chemical) vegetation management system. We just stood and watched all morning. Yay goats! Thank you Redding!
