A herd of about 200 goats consisting of mostly females and their kids was given a 6-to-8-week assignment at Cuyamaca College to munch away any brush that could pose a threat of wildfires. Watch them go!
“Goats are not native to North America, and so they prefer to eat non-native plants that have infiltrated areas around campus,” Jessica Robinson, Interim Cuyamaca President, said in a statement. “This is the second time we’ve used goats to accomplish this work, and we know the community enjoys watching them work.”
A local San Diego County company named Good Shepherds is using goats to graze the land in East County San Diego. NBC 7's Kelvin Henry reports. Provided by Environmental Land Management, the goats will work along humans to clear about 50 acres of brush on campus. Goats are often favored for this kind of job because they’re able to maneuver through difficult-to-reach areas and are fairly quiet while at work, according to GCCCD.
