This morning, I saw a (small) herd of goats on campus. I was quite taken aback for a moment, then figured they must be there for landscaping purposes. I don’t know what exactly they were eating – this particular hill is mostly covered with vines and invasive-looking trees (which the goats were chewing the bark off of…).
It turns out there was a news feature on the goats!
CMU Goes Eco-Friendly, Brings In Goats To Landscape Overgrown Hillside
Apparently this particular hill is too steep and weedy for easy landscaping, hence the goats. I hope they get used for milk or meat!
