Longmont firm’s goats trim Boulder’s grass for cash

Employees of Longmont-based Mutton Mowers LLC are on a three-week job, working to trim the tall, purple and prickly weeds at Viele Lake in south Boulder. But who are those employees?

According to the Times-Call, they’re a team of 40 goats, along with two “guard llamas.” Emily McMurtrey of Longmont transports the four-legged crew in a 16-foot stock trailer to weedy sites where their appetites are needed.
