Stella Wells has finally got the county government's goat. The goats can keep the grass and weeds from overrunning the historic Norwalk Cemetery in the Ocala National Forest, Wells told commissioners.
Wells chairs the county's cemetery committee.
It's certainly an unusual request. But Alford wondered about liability and all the other problems some free-range goats might cause in this world of constant and assured litigation. Wells said if the goats caused a problem that's when their goose, so to speak, would be cooked. On a serious note, Alford said goats will eat not only all the grass and weeds, but they are likely to eat everything else, too. Wells said the goats will be monitored.
