The goats will spend about a week at Google, work their way through the weeds, and then fertilize the Googleplex property with fresh goat droppings, for about the same cost that it takes to contract a landscaping and bush hogging crew, their gasoline, and carbon emissions.
Google’s Dan Hoffman, Director Real Estate and Workplace Services, adds on the Google Blog “It costs us about the same as mowing, and goats are a lot cuter to watch than lawn mowers.”
On a side note, Google was not the first search engine to hire Goats, as Yahoo started the practice back in 2007.
