The first-ever professional eating competition between goats, appropriately called The Great Goat Graze-Off, will take place on July 12 in New York City. CREDIT: Riverside Park Conservancy. The conservancy has been hosting goats at Riverside Park on the west side of Manhattan for the past five summers. According to their website, Riverside Park’s goats work like a herd of full-time professional weeding staff. Plus, goat poop makes the soil more nutritious, according to the Riverside Park Conservancy.
