Weed-Eating Goats Clear Twin Peaks to Prepare for Pride Weekend
NBC Bay Area ^ | Saturday, Jun 21, 2014

Four-legged gardeners will assist with weed mitigation this weekend on San Francisco's Twin Peaks hillside in preparation for Pride Weekend, according to public works officials.

A herd of weed-eating goats will chomp their way through the unwieldy vegetation that overtakes the site of the annual Pink Triangle installation.

The goats arrived on Thursday and are expected to work throughout the weekend.

The 50-or-so goats take the place of machinery and herbicides, and will be supervised day and night by human goat herders, public works officials said.

San Francisco city grazing manager Genevieve Church explained that the goats provide benefits beyond just controlling weeds.

Their excrement adds nutrients to the soil and their urine slows down weed growth, she said.

San Francisco Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru applauds the goats' grazing efforts.

"They can navigate the steep terrain nimbly and access areas that our employees would have a much harder time traversing safely to get the job done. Plus, goats are eco-friendly and really fun to see in San Francisco," Nuru said in a statement.

The canvas pink triangle, a trademark of Pride Weekend since 1995, will be installed near the top of Twin Peaks on June 28.

I understand that some of these goats have been spotted near various bath houses in the Castro District.

"Hey there!"*

* The phrase "Hey There" is well known code in the turdburglar community as a proposition for gay sex... this is why in the film Dr. Strangelove having "Hey There!" chalked on the bomb that Slim Pickens rides is particularly amusing.

The other third get it from having sex with goats.
