The military is hiring, but they're not looking for humans; this Albertan military base wants goats.

In a post to buyandsell.gc.ca on Monday, May 25, the Department of National Defence announced they're looking for 250 goats and sheep to help maintain the grasses.

These areas need to be grazed down by goats and sheep on an as and when needed basis.

The areas are hard to access and sloped, which is why a few hundred hungry critters are better than lawnmowers.

The military isn't the only force making use of goats to control weeds — the city of Edmonton has tried it before too.

So if you know any cloven-hoofed patriots out there, let them know that the military needs their help.
