Kudzu-eating goats creating a lot of mirth here in TN
By: Carole Borges

You got to love this gleeful New York Times article. I know my Northern family will be calling today to ask if we have any goats here in Knoxville.

Here's the lyrics to the song and a link to hear it.

I love the low-tech, gone-green idea of goats working for the city. I do think they might be given those orange city worker vests though. Someone might confuse them with ordinary goats.

Perhaps letting the goats and their donkeys take over all the jobs at City Hall might create better government here in Knoxville?

Great idea

I think this is a great, environmentally friendly way to clean out the kudzu. Some of my neigbhors have had a man spraying poison on their property for a couple of weeks to do the same job, and I would prefer the goats, personally.

Those are some ugly goats in the NYT photo, though. Our Tennessee goats are better looking than that!
