I have to admit that when the grass starts coming up in the spring, I love to watch it grow.  My farm goes from a brown and grey to a luscious green.  Then the weeds start to grow and I cant keep up with them even with a good weed-eater.   By the end of the summer there are places where the weeds are six foot high and unsightly.

This year I have gone green.  I now have a new, fuel efficient weed-eater.  Actually, I have four,  Oreo, Felicity, Charcoal and UN.  My four goats do not use any fuel or manpower, they do not put out to much greenhouse emissions.  They do have the side benefit of fertilizing my soil.  I simply put up the fence and they power through the weeds with no effort on my part.

My friend Michelle with Happy Goats Grazing LLC has the same concept but on a much larger scale.  Her goats graze land for road departments and farms and ranches.  The road departments do not have to use heavy equipment or harmful chemicals to clear weeds from their lands.  Michelle's group just eats their way to a beautiful property and leave behind nutrients to help improve the soil.  At the end of the summer she sells off part of her herd so she does not have to winter them.

Now lets take that same concept to small towns.   Many times there are lots in small towns that do not get mowed either because the owners don't live in town or the property has been abandoned or any other number of reasons.  A person could offer to graze those properties for a fee and make a profit on the goats at the end of the summer.  In fact the city itself could do this.  It would cheaper in the long run than equipment, upkeep, gas and wages.  The city would definitely be labeled green for more than one reason!

So, how do you find out about this wonderful green eating machine?
