Pittsburgh's city council has just voted to allow ten goats (http://www.steelcitygrazers.com/p/herd.html) — Rueben, Cowboy, Daryln, Angel Face, Favorite, Kama, Ozark, Twinsie, Wimpy and Boaz — and a guard donkey named Hobo to maintain hillsides.
This is thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Allegheny County Conservation District.
