The Goats of San Francisco

The Goats of San Francisco

Posted on 13. Oct, 2009 by Mark in Other Animals

A few weeks ago we had one of my favorite fall San Francisco happenings over on my side of town: Goats R Us came to town. Yes indeed, there is a company by that name and every year they bring their flock to the hillier parts of the city where lawn mowers dare not go to clear out underbrush and fire hazards. A herd of hundreds descends upon the City College Ocean Avenue campus around the old Balboa Reservoir and for a few days they eat,  fart, poop and thrill locals nonstop until they’re done.

    The “Bleats” of San Francisco, anyone?

    Hey Mark – they feed on the hill across from our house as well. Their smell stays for days after they are pulled out. Lots of fun for kids, and you’re right, the dogs.

    That’s a hill of a story. Nothing more colorful either than a few four-letter words in your text to describe their cycle of eating. Not sure your grandmother would have approved of that part.
