Cashmere goats, wearing their self-produced cashmere sweaters, didn’t let snow stop them from doing the job for which they are visiting Colorado Springs on Sunday, October 25, 2020. Every year, the Charmain Nymann Community Garden in Bear Creek Park raises $10,000 to bring the goats to eat weeds for 10 days in the garden and park. About 350 goats arrived in Bear Creek Park last Wednesday. The grazing makes it possible to avoid herbicides in the Charmaine Nymann Community Garden. (Photo by Jerilee Bennett, The Gazette)
