Oregon City sacks goat ground maintenance team

A crew of goats brought in to devour invasive plants at a popular park in Oregon’s state capital, Salem, have been fired because they ate indiscriminately, cost nearly five times as much as human landscapers and smelled far worse, a city official said on Friday.

The 75 billy and nanny goats were supposed to eat Armenian blackberry and English ivy and other invasive plants choking native vegetation across the 9.1-acre Minto-Brown Island Park, the city’s largest, in a pilot programme last autumn.

But the programme ended in November after six weeks, and Salem has no plans to renew it, Keith Keever, the city’s parks superintendent, said on Friday.
