Now That's a Lot of Goats!

The Omaha Goats

The Nebraska Cornhuskers get most of the attention when it comes to sporting teams from Nebraska. But on a trip to Omaha this weekend, I discovered a lesser known Nebraska sports team with a pretty nifty team name and logo. It's an Omaha rugby team known as the Omaha Goats. The beauty and simplicity of this logo make me think that the goat is an underutilized mascot animal.

Goat Rodeo!

I went on a bike ride a few days ago and was surprised to ride by an enclosed watershed in our neighborhood that was filled with goats...I'm not talking two or three goats but dozens! It was a full on goat rodeo!


I brought Steph and Jack back later that day to observe the goats and we learned they are profession weeders and the goat company was doing the city a favor. Note there were also several dogs living with the goats to serve as protection.
