Low-tech Lawnmowers

Maryland officials are using forty goats to mow grass and weeds alongpart of a state highway. These natural mowers are not only less expensive than conventional methods, but are also more environmentally friendly, as they reduce the state's carbon footprint and protect species native to thearea, such as a certain type of bog turtle. The goats will work until September. Places in New York and Colorado also use goats to trim grass.
