( Tamsin Cooper/FlickrA Michigan chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is warning that somebody is coming to take union jobs. But it only tracks subcategories such as meat and dairy, the products goats have traditionally been used for. It doesn't include newer innovations such as weeding goats, yoga goats, therapy goats or pack goats. Per the USDA there are about 2.5 million meat and dairy goats in the U.S. as of 2017. If you consider that only some unknown fraction of the nation's meat and dairy goats are actually currently being used to clear brush, the number gets even smaller.
