Google cuts the grass – with goats.

Google is now trying something a bit new…the online company has just recently began renting goats to “mow” the lawn at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California. About 200 goats will be brought in to both eat and “fertilize” the grass.

The goats come from a company called California Grazing; which oddly enough rents goats for this very reason and provides service to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego areas. The cost of the goats is said to be around the same cost as a lawn mowing service.

So, now Google is also “going green” at its headquarters in a very strange way. I can see how this could be an issue if you wanted an even cut, but at the same time, it is low maintenance. I wish my dogs would eat grass.
