What’s to be done when you have hillsides of brush that needs be trimmed and hungry goats that need to eat? The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has answers.
A herd of 400 goats will get to work chowing down in the San Bernardino Mountains. The San Manuel Fire Department will deploy the herd to help trim the landscape spawned by winter rainfall.
The herd is the “greatest of all time” at consuming grasses and scrub brush in the area, according to a news release.
