Once lived in Orinda, CA. Lots of open space all around, and huge goat herds showed up every summer to graze down the weeds. Pretty cool, I thought, but it was hard to walk my border collie and Belgian sheepdog off-leash without running into them.Rode out last week to check on our two Piper Creek community garden plots that we rent from the municipality which contracts a local herder to use their goats to manage invasive weed species on the adjacent parcel of land.

The comical part: These 50-60 lb so-called "herding dogs" were totally spooked by the goats and stayed as far away as they could get.
