Oregon City sacks goat ground maintenance team Anonymous 02/28/16 (Sun) 13:01:40 No.320589

A crew of goats brought in to devour invasive plants at a popular park in Oregon's state capital, Salem, have been fired because they ate indiscriminately, cost nearly five times as much as human landscapers and smelled far worse, a city official said on Friday.

The 75 billy and nanny goats were supposed to eat Armenian blackberry and English ivy and other invasive plants choking native vegetation across the 9.1-acre Minto-Brown Island Park, the city's largest, in a pilot programme last autumn.

But the programme ended in November after six weeks, and Salem has no plans to renew it, Keith Keever, the city's parks superintendent, said on Friday.

Ship those unemployed goats down here to the South. We got acres & acres of fucking Kudzu that only goats can effectively get rid of.

amateurs. goats can be trained explicity to follow exact guidelines of where and where not to eat. the state of California has been doing this for decades now to maintain firebreaks in rugged terrain.

also;

>buys resource as long term investment

>cuts use of resource off immediately

>complains about short-term costs ratio

Crabposting is already old - it's time for goatposting.

> The goats "had a barnyard aroma" and cost $20,719, including $4,203 for drinking water and a workers' lavatory, and $2,560 for monitoring, city staff said in a report to the city council this week.

>The cost was nearly five times the $4,245 for a normal parks maintenance man backed by a prison inmate work crew to do the job, the report said.

So maintenance crews and convicts don't need to use the bathroom?

Goats would eat the delicious leaves and forget about the shrubs themselves which were the problem.
