A herd of 100 sheep and goat has been employed to eat and control the invasive kudzu vine in several public greenspaces in the Atlanta area. Each sheep or goat can eat 150 square feet of kudzu per day, according to officials. Kudzu is native to southern Japan and southeast China, but is an invasive and exotic plant species in the southeastern United States. EPA/ERIK S. LESSER
