IDAHO FALLS — For the last six years, weed abatement hasn’t been a priority for Eddie Walsh, who lives on one-tenth of an acre on 12th Street in Idaho Falls.

As a result, the backyard is overrun with weeds and shrubbery that would’ve taken a lot of work with a weed whacker or lawn mower to clean it up.

The 33-year-old felt there was a better way and that led him to The Copeland’s Farm in Aberdeen, who provided 55 goats to come and clear the land by eating the foliage down to the roots.

“It’s a little more of a natural way to help clean up the property. Plus, it adds a little bit of excitement,” Farm owner Zakary Copeland tells EastIdahoNews.com.

Copeland was at the Idaho Falls property Wednesday overseeing more than half his herd as they went to town on Walsh’s yard. See the goats in action in the video above.
