Photos: Goats Gone Wild in the Congressional Cemetery

"Goats can eat poisonous plants and are able to clear an entire acre in only a few days. The cemetery ordered about 60 from a company called Eco-Goats who brought the goats from Maryland to eat at the cemetery for a full week.

Goats are pretty much gluttons. "It just amazes me, the sheer volume of vegetation that can go through a goat in a short amount of time," said Brian Knox, who raises the animals. "You're looking at 10 to 15 pounds per animal, per day." After a week, the goats will clear 1.6 acres of land at a cost of only 25 cents per goat per hour."
