It's not every day that you see a landscaping team staffed by goats and guard dogs.
But that's exactly what the city of Brunswick Georgia is hoping to utilize to help maintain areas of the city that are difficult to access with traditional mowing equipment.
"As part of the ongoing mitigation efforts for College Park, the City of Brunswick will be bringing in goats along the designated areas with Get Your Goat Rentals," the City of Brunswick said in a Facebook post. "These areas were chosen for the goats because it is difficult for regular machinery such as mowers and weed eaters to properly clear the area."
In the post, the City says that the estimated arrival of the goats will be on Monday and will be working in the ditch that runs parallel to Spur 25.
The City says that the goats will be contained in an electric fence and have livestock guardian dogs that will accompany the goats to protect them.
"While these dogs are friendly, they are not your typical house dogs, and are concentrating herding and protecting the goats from snakes, stray dogs and other predators," the City says. "While they are not aggressive, please do not try to feed or pet these animals unsupervised."
The goats will be coming from Get Your Goat Rentals, a company that rents out teams of goats to be utilized for landscaping purposes.
