Rent a Goat...

Just thought you'd be interested in an ABC Nightline story of 'rent-a-goat' for the lawn care.

It's happening in Seattle.

I just came back from the Seattle area. Renting goats is so popular up there, as Western Washington is literally being overrun with the Himalayan Blackberry bushes. They are a noxious weed, and soo hard to kill. I've had more than my fair share of bloody scratches and gashes trying to pull those dang things. I turned my goats loose on em, and they stripped the leaves off lickty split. They LOVE blackberry leaves.
People rent their goats out for anywhere between $40-80$ month per goat. I heard of one lady up there that rents out upwards of 200 goats. That's a big chunk of change every month!
