COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Grazing goats have returned to Bear Creek Park on the southwest side of Colorado Springs to butt heads with fire danger.

“These past couple of days where it's super windy, there's a huge fire danger. And it's really good to get that stuff grazed down before any damage could happen," Connor Hancock, who oversees the goats for hire during their 10-day assignment, said. "Goats are a great way of using an all natural way to get rid of the noxious weeds and they fertilize and till the soil while they're doing so," Hancock said.
