A Carmarthenshire couple have started the UK's first goat renting business, offering what they believe is an eco-friendly alternative to lawnmowers. Dawn Hart and Richard White started Bio goats 2 rent three years ago and now have over 200 goats - all of which they know by name - available for hire.
The company describes itself as an eco-friendly weed and brush control company which promotes the use of goats to clear brambles, weeds and rough patches of ground. Mrs Hart, from Clynderwyn, said: “A lot of people did take the mickey out of us initially, but we thought the business was a good idea and it has now taken off.
“The goats clear people’s gardens and patches of rough land and a lot of people find them very therapeutic and like having them in their garden for company.” Read more: 'Tractor obsessed' three-year-old takes TikTok by storm
