• The city tends to live under the same rules, Parks director Ben Page told Axios.

🐐 State of play: Clive's goat experience has been bucking great.

• In four years, the herd has quadrupled in size and volunteers help out with some of the work, said Richard Brown, director of Clive's leisure services.
• Now, metro residents who spot the goats around town try to get selfies. And even swag for the animals has become popular.

What's next: Voss will advocate for goats as next year's budget talks pick up.
