    Grazing Goats

    Goats are the newest employees of the city of Sunnyvale, providing cleanup for Sunnyvale's landfills


    Goats are maintaining the city's landfills by grazing on its grass. The city is experimenting with the use of goats to perform vegetation control for the 93-acre landfill in place of mechanical mowing. The goats are strategically placed so that they only graze on a couple of acres at a time. Enclosed by solar powered electric fences, they stay together and eat peacefully.   More
