All of them four-legged and hungry for hard to reach brush. 

According to Briana Murphy of Goat Power in Sherwood, Oregon, the Eugene Airport has contracted with her company for 60 animals to eat their fill. 

Briana Murphy:  "Because they have a really diverse palate, which means they’ll eat the woody plants, they’ll grasses, they’ll eat the ivy."

Pretty much anything inside their movable pen.  This gives the the Airport a way to clear rough ground near irrigation canals where neither machinery nor herbicides can be used.  Murphy estimates her goats will clear roughly 3 acres at the Eugene Airport during the 2 week contract.
