Amazon is now offering goat rentals amongst its home services.

According to Amazon's website, they are now offering goat rentals to people in the US who want a natural means of removing unwanted vegetation.

"Once a pro has met with you to determine if unleashing some friendly goats on your property will help you get rid of any unwanted vegetation, you'll receive a recommendation for how many goats will be loaned to you, how long those goats will keep you company, and how often a pro will come check on them to make sure they're not attempting any fancy tricks to break free from the temporary fencing that will be placed around them," the website says.

It also touts that they will leave behind "free fertiser".

"As they graze, they will likely leave behind some droppings, too, and you'll get to keep this fertilizer as a friendly parting gift!" the website says.

The website does not say whether the goats will be delivered by Amazon's fleet of delivery drones.
