ROCHESTER, Minn. – Their job done at Rochester’s Bear Creek park, 200 goats have been loaded up and trucked away by the company Goat Dispatch of Faribault. The goats spent three weeks nibbling and crunching the nasty invasive shrub buckhorn. The shrub is their favorite, said Jake Langeslag, who with his wife have 650 goats they rent out. The goats at Bear Creek Park denuded 10 acres of buckhorn, all in what Langeslag calls an eco-friendly way.
Goats on duty. At Bear Creek city park off Marion Road in southeast Rochester.
