Day 363- Goats with a Job

Just about everyone in town loves these goats! This is a small part of a herd grazing on a hillside in Benicia.  The town hires them to clear the hillsides of grass, thus preventing grass fires.  They are a big hit with the children; many times my first graders would start their day at school reporting on where they had last seen the goats, with special status given to those who had them near their house that day.

I won’t go into the headache I had deciding which processing option to go with today. Let’s just say I tried them all and settled on a black and white conversion, emphasizing the seriousness of their mission. . .
