Two dozen goats from a farm in a bucolic part of New York state are on a city outing - let loose in Manhattan's Riverside Park on Wednesday to munch on invasive weeds reut.rs/3wJGL13 1/5 
Phones out, spectators crowded around fences and counted down as the hungry black, brown and white goats were herded in a ceremonial 'Running of the Goats' to begin their task as natural weed whackers 2/5
'Putting them to work in 'Goatham' is like treating them to an all-you-can-eat buffet. It's healthy for the goats and it's good for the environment. That's farm to table' 3/5
Using the goats to remove invasive species at Riverside Park is an environmentally friendly win-win - the goats get to feast on overgrown brush and Riverside Park Conservancy doesn't have to use chemicals to remove the weeds 4/5
Of the 24 goats, five will call Riverside Park home until the end of August, eating their way through two acres of the park reut.rs/3wJGL13 5/5
