Weed whacking goats in Los Angees?

ok, I've seen them on tv, and I've seen them online, but where. N I actually HIRE them? I have a large piece of empty property that's weed-choked and spend a fortune every few years to hack the weeds down. Someone said I need a goat which got m thinking...so I'm on a quest to find out who in SoCal rents goats! Any ideas? Baaaa...:)

    You might want to look into sheep. Here in NH they have been used to keep grass and weeds in control under utility transmission lines. I have also seen them used to keep lawns at public buildings in Nova Scotia neat and trim ( and green).

      Not in your neck of the weeds, but maybe speak to Goats R Us
      http://www.goatsrus.com/
      perhaps they can point the way?

        Not sure where you are, but check with Basque in the Bakersfield area.

          Google "goats for hire" and "rent-a-goat" and you'll find options.

            You might check at some local farmer's markets to see who has goats and if they are willing to 'rent' them out.
