Now Amazon will let you rent goats

Amazon's new product Home Services has a goat grazing service.

I think Amazon may have finally jumped the shark.

They’ve got a newish product called Home Services, which is kind of a catch-all for various and sundry things — television wall mounting, virus and spyware removal, plumbing and also, apparently, lawn care.

And not just any lawn care; they’re offering a goat grazing service.

Straight from the goat’s mouth: “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.”

Also, you get to keep any goat poop.
