1. It's just the new neighborhood lawn and fertilizer service

You’ll be getting a bill at the end of the month.

7. Goats don't eat grass

They destroy shrubs

They'd better hope no Jamaicans are around. It's Independence weekend and curry goat is a major part of the celebrations.

[dhol82]

8. Then consider it the new pruning service.

Yum, curry goat. Good choice.

[niyad]

35. our major regional park uses goats for noxious weed mitigation.

[malaise]

39. Yep that they do

Goat meat is very popular here

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. LOL!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. Not so fast. Let them eat the English Ivy first.

I hate that stuff.

[Lindsay]

3. Here in NC

there are goat owners who rent out their goats to eat the kudzu. Dunno about ivy, and we have that, too.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. A kid'll eat ivy too.

Wouldn't you?

I don't know how Felix the Cat got into the act:

19. They do that in GA, too. My brother bought a house in Atlanta.

Up to his eyeballs in kudzu.

21. Yup NC goats for rent

A friend of mine near Raleigh NC rented out her goat to neighbors to eat out-of-control vegetation, mostly ivy and kudsu.

[radical noodle]

29. Goats will eat almost anything in sight

No problem with ivy.

[LeftInTX]

23. That is so funny

They're after the ivy, just like the song!!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

38. Heh heh. I noticed that.

The tree will appreciate it too.

[Saboburns]

My weed eater is broke.

[0rganism]

10. goat rodeo

now playing everywhere

[wcollar]

11. Not the Apocalypse

It's ok. Don't panic, none of them are orange!

[Solly Mack]

12. I love goats! I hope they are OK.

I like how they have lookouts in the street. Smart marauding takes smart planning. Note the smaller goats surrounding the humans - people always fall for the little cute ones - great distraction.

I really do hope the goats are OK.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. More homeless due to Goat HUD budget cuts...

Has anyone made sure those guys are registered to vote?...........

[3Hotdogs]

14. Call Mother. The apocolypse has begun.

Next will come locusts and famine when the goats eat all the veggies.

[radical noodle]

30. I hope their owner has insurance

There will be mucho landscaping to replace.

[niyad]

31. I thought my friend's weed mitigation team was still at the park. ooops....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Around here goats are brought in to eat buckthorn in parks and other public land.

We don't have kudzu; we have buckthorn, which is kudzu with thorns. Bring on the goats.

[catbyte]

34. Goat-a-palooza has ended. A truck with "We Rent Goats" on the side of it just rounded them up.

Fun's over, kids.
