An Air Force Base near Cold Lake is now recruiting goats and sheep to cut back on undesired plants & weeds in hard to access areas for the summer. The Department of National Defence now has an eye out for goats and sheep to graze on a portion of CFB Cold Lake. A herd of 250 animals, 70 percent goats and 30 percent sheep. Goats and Sheep have been sent to the base before 3 years ago, and have been managing weeds ever since.
The contract will award the animals as soon as the 12th of July.
Plans for animals to be used on other bases are not expected said Capt. Mat Strong.
Animals have been utilized before at CFB Comox and in municipalities like Calgary, Kamloops & Regina.
Captain Mat Strong, public affairs officer for 1 Canadian Air Division based in Winnipeg said that removing the vegetation would deter wildlife from entering and wondering on runways.
