I don't know what the goat herder's name is "supposed" to be. I'm missing the reference.
I see these things hungry goats a lot now.

Goats are also getting used around Maryland to eat-up invasive plants, though I do not think anyone named Alan is involved. From what I have read, they happily eat poison ivy, multiflora rose, kudzu and other undesirable vegetation without complaint - as long as they can reach it.
Baltimore Sun: Goats brought in to attack invasive plants at Bel Air's Rockfield Park (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/harford/belair/ph-ag-bel-air-goats-0506-20150504-story.html)
They are used in Fort Wadsworth in New York's Gateway National Recreation area in part because they are not affected by poison ivy. However, because of their contact with and secretion of the poison ivy toxins, you can't touch them.
I hear goats are good at keeping kudzu in check. That stuff is smothering the Southeastern US.
I need some goats to mow my yard. I don't have a working lawn mower right now and the times I've mowed it, I've bush-hogged it with the big tractor.
