A federal judge has sided with managers of northern Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest and against an environmental group that challenged livestock grazing in the forest.

U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer ruled Monday that forest managers did as the law required -- they took a "hard look" at the environmental consequences of the forest plan.

Hear! Hear! Let the cheerleaders graze wherever they wish.

On a more serious note, this is good news.

Actually sounds like a good way to control undergrowth and prevent large forest fires. Goats in the LA hills might be a good idea. They often can’t burn because of air quality restrictions but the goats would eat all the underbrush.

Nawww — probably wouldn’t allow it on account of the methane.

I have raised goats and they don’t fart, they do burp...my old dog farts.......lots of old men and women do also...as my daddy use to say, this was on an old tombstone...”Where ever you go let your farts run free, for holding them back is what killed me”.
