California fires: Goats help save Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
    31 October 2019

A hungry herd of 500 goats has helped save the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library from the California wildfires.

In May, the library hired the goats to clear flammable scrub surrounding the complex as a preventative measure.

The goats ate the brush, creating a fire break that slowed the flames and gave firefighters extra time to react.

I heard fires were threatening the library, I"m not sure of the outcome. I hope it is all okay as I wish all of the people out there are.

The people at the RR library are among the few in California with any sense, seems like.

The older I get, the more I realize that Reagan will be the best president in my lifetime.  :patriot:

Now jes' imagine...

Usin' goats to eat up flammable underbrush, and protect again wildfires.

Is that "an environmentally-correct" solution, or what...?

Them goats really do a number on browse like that... Run them through, and then some pigs, and you'll wind up with a shady parkland.

I live in a valley surrounded by hills.  Several municipalities in the area have used goats to clear the overgrown brush on these hills. Those goats can handle the steep terrain better than we humans can.  And of course, they are eco-friendly, which makes the enviro-weenies happy.
