Goats Being Hired

Goats are being hired to do the work of men in a
neighborhood just outside of San Diego. The fires that occurred in
Hillborough four years ago destroyed thirty homes, most of which have
been rebuilt. While contractors were rebuilding the homes, nature was
regrowing the grasses, bushes, and shrubs. The area is now so overgrown
in brush that it again poses a major fire hazard.
The city council asked for bids to remove the brush. The lowest bid they
received was ,000. And that was if the city provided breakfast and
lunch for the work crews for the six weeks it would take to clear the
overgrown area. The city countered, offering unlimited coffee (black
only) and a doughnut a day for each crew member. When that offer was
rejected, the city asked for help on its website.
A sheepherder in Montana and a goatherder in San
Bernardino read about the city’s plight while surfing the web on their
laptops. They both offered to do the job for $25,000. The council chose
the goatherder because he lived closer. When told that the city dump was
overflowing, the goatherder said, “No problem. My goats will eat
everything in your dump. Except for the automobile engines, of course.”
So, for another $5,000, the city killed two birds with one stone. If all
goes well, they will invite the goatherder and his “family” back every
three years. The goatherder said he will probably visit San Diego while
his goats are in the dump. “I want to take one of those hang-glider
rides. I just hope we don’t crash. My goats would miss me a lot,” he
said.
