On a ski slope in Vermont, #goats and #sheep are being used to clear vegetation instead of heavy machinery, blending nature with #land-management in a #low-impact way 🐐🌱⛷️

Livestock landscaping: Vermont...
Goats and sheep clear vegetation on ski slopes in Vermont

Domestic goats are reaching new heights on Vermont's ski slopes. Magic Mountain in southern Vermont used goats to clear its slopes of vegetation last year, and Jay Peak, near the Canadian border, is using goats and sheep this fall. Over five weeks, they’re expected to clear 25 acres, a small part of the 300 acres that need mowing. Officials say the experiment aims to reduce reliance on gas-powered mowers. The animals wear special collars that connect to an invisible fence, sending data to their owner. Using livestock for landscaping isn’t new, but it’s gaining traction as a sustainable practice.

👉 The Role of Cardio and Muscle Retention 🏃💪

🏃 Engaging in moderate cardio (2-3 sessions per week) supports fat loss without compromising muscle mass, especially when paired with strength training.

🏃 Too much cardio can lead to muscle breakdown, as the body may use muscle tissue for energy when in a caloric deficit.
