California Using Goats To Prevent Wildfires (VIDEO)


SHOW TRANSCRIPT
From the farms of central California, to the rocky hills of the Bay Area. This herd of more than 500 dairy and African Boer goats is hard at work.
They’re an unconventional-- but effective-- tool to stop fires.
"We built the fence probably, I'd say probably about five acres.  Looking at the brush and everything like that, it'll probably be a couple of days here," Derek Ciccarelli, Goat Transporter, Living Systems Management.
They clear away brush-- eating it before it can become fuel for fires. And they eat a lot. A single 100-pound goat can chow down 12 pounds of green brush in a day. So do the math. There are about 560 adult and baby goats out here-by the end of today, they’ll clear 6,700 pounds.
