By /

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The City of Albuquerque is asking residents to cast a vote regarding some very important employees: the goats of Galloping Goat Pumpkin Patch. The goats have been hard at work finishing up a cleanup project in the bosque.

The “small and efficient workers” have been hired to eat up some invasive plants in the bosque, helping to mitigate the spread of wildfires. Now, the city wants community members to vote to determine the “head honcho” of the heard. Here is a look at some of the goats involved:
