An unusual animal story turned heads this week at Standley Lake Regional Park. And for once, it wasn’t the famous bald eagles that live there. Some 200 hungry goats — 75 nannies and 125 kids born this spring — were busy at work eating weeds and entertaining onlookers. While they certainly were adorable, especially the little ones, they were doing the serious business of battling noxious plants and improving the soil in the process. “Weeds are symptoms of over-grazing or unhealthy soil,” explained Alexi Wattis, who was herding the animals owned by Goat Green, a Colorado company that has 1,500 goats working year-round on jobs across the West.
