Goats spell trouble for invasive weeds

Four hundred and nine goats showed up this week at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bozeman Fish Technology Center as part of a cooperative effort to target noxious weeds and manage brush overgrowth. The purposes of this effort is to reduce the presence of undesirable vegetation (without using chemical herbicides), promote restoration of NATIVE PLANTS, and assist with fire protection by reducing burnable plant biomass.
