Clean up your unsightly yard with a rentable goat

Amazon’s “Home Services” offers a variety of different services, and while most of the options are pretty standard—plumbers, repairmen—there is one peculiar offering that stands out: In some cities, you can pay to rent a goat. 

If you’re interested in getting rid of unwanted vegetation, but hate weed-whackers, Amazon will send a professional to scope out your yard. If it’s deemed OK for the goats to eat, the homeowner will receive an estimate on price, number of goats, and duration of their stay. A temporary pen will be set up to keep the animals in line, and then they’ll get to work clearing all the unwanted vegetation.
