Hate mowing your lawn? Just hire a goat to do the work for you. WTOP reports today on a Maryland farm that is offering up its goats for all your lawn-moving needs:

As an alternative to using herbicides, property owners in Southern Maryland can hire the goats to chow down on unwanted vegetation.

Many of the things goats feast on, are things you don’t even want to touch.

“They love the wild rose bushes, poison ivy, poison sumac, poison oak. (They’re) not a problem for them whatsoever,” says farm owner Mary Bowen.

The Calvert County farm will bring the goats to a given property, set up a temporary fence to keep them in one place and protect them from predators, as well as provide the animals with water and check on them daily.

Despite the fact that D.C’s. lawn-mowing season just kicked off (keep that grass under 10 inches!), those goats won’t likely be crossing state lines anytime soon—under D.C. law, it would be illegal to have a goat, even if only for a day and for the sole purpose of cleaning up your front yard.
