Walter Bruning: Where are the goats kept in winter? How often are they transported to each site?
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago: Walter Bruning the herd is from Richland Center, Wisconsin. Depending on the workload at each of our sites, they will move around by trailer to where needed with our vendors from Vegetation Solutions. In less than a month, about 50 goats and sheep will clear out more than a dozen acres of shrubs, plants and other overgrowth with each animal clearing at least 250 square feet of vegetation per day.
