Human Bay Area workers aren’t the only ones seeing job openings spike. According to KTVU, our caprine colleagues are working at full capacity.

Businesses such as California Grazing, which transport herds of goats to clear hillsides of dry brush, report that they can’t keep up with demand –all thanks to the drought. These hard-eating goats risk escape attempts from rogue herd members and even goat thievery to protect our property before fire season hits its peak.

The need for grazing has gotten so great that goats from Washington state, accustomed to rainy weather and lush greenery, are being hauled south to feed on dry, brittle grasses.

Inside Scoop has calls out to local cheesemakers to see if any of their goats are being pressed into service by the state.
