Not all contractors that work for the City of Cheyenne stand on two feet – some are on four hooves!
Each year, the City hires a team of goats to help keep vegetation down along the Dry Creek and Crow Creek corridors. The goats are a cost-effective and nature-friendly way to help keep two of Cheyenne’s floodways clear and safe for the community.
On Wednesday, June 11, residents will have a chance to meet the goats from 10 a.m. to noon at the Dry Creek Greenway trailhead near the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Chetwood Avenue. A petting area will be set up to interact with some of the herd.
“We’ve been hiring goats for several years after seeing their use by the county’s Weed and Pest Department,” said Sam Berta in the City’s Engineering Department. “They’re more cost-effective than using human staff, heavy equipment, or chemicals to keep vegetation down along Crow Creek and Dry Creek.”
The goats this year are owned by Goats on the Go, operated by Colorado-based Olson Outdoors. The herd works in Cheyenne primarily in the spring and fall, and this year, the herd even welcomed a new addition with a kid born right in Cheyenne!
Residents interested in meeting and interacting with the goats can park at the Greenway trailhead or along Cleveland Avenue. Those who can’t make the “Meet and Bleat’ event can see the goats working near the Dry Creek Greenway from a distance during the rest of the season.
