Las Cruces uses goats to weed Flood Control Dam

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) – The city of Las Cruces is once again using goats to keep public property free of weeds and vegetation.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that about 70 goats are munching across the 2.5-mile Las Cruces Flood Control Dam, which is a popular recreation area for hikers and bird watchers. The goats arrived May 20 and will remain through the end of June.
In addition to the goats, three alpacas travel with the herd to help protect them from coyotes.
