If you thought goats were only important to ancient civilizations, think again. Click here to read about how goats are being used today in the city of Baltimore.
In the meantime, here are some fun facts to know and tell about our friend, the goat.
* a herd of 30 goats can eat up to a quarter acre of vegetation a day
* they eat all kinds of poisonous and invasive species of plants including poison ivy
* they can reach vegetation up to six feet off the ground
* the droppings provide natural fertilizer
* they eat brush and not grass
* they have four-chambered stomachs and special enzymes which allow them to digest plants
I thought this was a good article. Maybe my parents would let me get a goat to cut our grass at home. :)
