He's worked with goats for over 20 years. Lately, his goats have been grazing near busy roads, businesses, and underneath power lines for SDG&E. “The goat tool, if you will, is just a reintroduction to what abatement used to be like and reintroducing the goat to get that understory and flash fuel treatment to that better degree,” Gonzales said.“They start eating first the invasive plants that they’re used to, the Mediterranean, Eurasian, African plants," Gonzales said."And then after time, if we need an amount of native plant reduction, we hold them a period of time that they start to actually address that.
