[Ag-eq] Goats

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Tracy:

Goats are very good at cleaning up brush and weeds.  Arizona has been keeping
some in forested areas to keep the undergrowth down.  Clearing the undergrowth
helps cut down on forest fires.  The state has been leasing hundreds of goats
from the navajo nation for this project.  They also hire some of the Navajo
people and dogs to herd the goats around.  So far the project has been very
successful.

Maybe I should try and hire the girls out!
