Goats!!! Now with UPDATE!!!

Yesterday, Henry comes running inside yelling, "GOATS!!! There's goats across the street!!" I went outside to investigate, and sure enough, there were! It seems that the culvert over there has gotten overgrown and our city decided that the best way to take care of it was to drop off a herd of goats to graze for a week or so. That area has never seen so much activity. The whole neighborhood has been past in the last 24 hours to take a peek at the new neighbors.



Update:

It's one week later and the goats are still here, but I'm not sure for how much longer. They have really, really done their job and have almost entirely cleared out the culvert. It is amazing how much a herd of goats can eat in a week, and that's not even counting the weeds the kids have pulled from outside the fence to feed to the goats.LOL

If you look in the very first picture above, you can kind of see how much the goats had to start with. That is only one side. They've eaten all three sides and almost the whole bottom of the culvert:
