    A large herd of goats, numbering in the hundreds, is spread across a dry, scrub-covered hillside under a clear blue sky. The animals appear to be grazing on the sparse vegetation across the entire slope, from the base to the hilltop. Utility poles are visible along the ridgeline, suggesting proximity to a developed area.

    A herd of goats graze on vegetation during Operation Goat Rope at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, Sept. 15, 2026. MCAS Miramar partnered with Shepherdess Land and Livestock to bring over 400 goats to East Miramar to graze on vegetation and help reduce wildfire risk. The initiative makes MCAS Miramar the first U.S. military installation to use goats in this type of wildfire mitigation effort. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Seferino Gamez)

    The image shows a rural electric fence installation along a dry, arid dirt road in what appears to be a semi-desert or chaparral environment. A red Speedrite 3000 electric fence energizer is mounted on a white fence post, connected to a battery unit on the ground. The landscape features dry scrubland, a hillside in the background, and a utility pole visible along the road.
    A goat has pushed its head through the horizontal rails of a black metal farm gate, facing the camera. The goat appears to be a Boer or Boer-cross breed, identifiable by its white and brown coloring and long drooping ears. A red identification tag is visible on its right ear.
    Two goats are standing behind a black metal wire gate or fence panel in an outdoor enclosure. The goat on the left is predominantly white with brown markings and wears a collar with a bell, while the goat on the right is black and white with small curved horns. The background shows dry, golden-brown grass suggesting an arid or drought-affected environment.
    A dry, semi-arid hillside landscape featuring a wire mesh fence running diagonally through the foreground into the middle distance. A wooden pergola or shade structure sits atop a hill to the left, alongside a utility pole with power lines. The terrain is characteristic of Southern California chaparral, with dry grasses, scrub brush, and rolling hills visible in the background.
    Two goats stand in a dry, arid outdoor area with a group of people gathered in the background. The foreground goat, wearing a collar with a tag, faces the camera directly. The setting appears to be a rural or semi-rural property with a white tent structure and concrete building visible behind the crowd.
    A woman in a cowboy hat and green t-shirt is unloading goats from the back of a large white livestock truck on a dirt road. Several goats of varying colors are descending a metal ramp from the truck, with at least two already on the ground. The setting appears to be a dry, hilly terrain, likely in California based on the landscape and visible license plate.
    Two goats are running on a dusty gravel surface near a livestock trailer. The foreground goat is brown and white (consistent with a Boer goat breed), while the background goat is black and white with an ear tag. A red semi-truck cab is partially visible in the background.
    A herd of approximately seven goats is running across a dry, arid dirt terrain. The goats display varied coloration including white, black, tan, and mixed patterns. The environment appears to be a semi-arid or drought-affected landscape with sparse, dry vegetation.
    A U.S. Marine in woodland MARPAT camouflage uniform is directing or herding a group of goats on a dry, dusty hillside trail. The goats are in motion, captured with motion blur, kicking up dust as they run past the service member. The setting appears to be a semi-arid military installation or training area with scrub-covered hills in the background.
    A large herd of goats is moving across a dry, arid hillside landscape, traversing what appears to be a dirt path or road. The terrain is characterized by dry golden-brown grass, scattered green shrubs, and rocky soil typical of a Mediterranean or semi-arid climate. The herd consists of mixed-color animals, predominantly white with some brown and black individuals.
    A large herd of goats, numbering in the hundreds, is spread across a dry, scrub-covered hillside under a clear blue sky. The animals appear to be grazing on the sparse vegetation across the entire slope, from the base to the hilltop. Utility poles are visible along the ridgeline, suggesting proximity to a developed area.
    A white plastic water tank mounted on a dual-axle trailer is positioned on dry, rocky terrain in an arid landscape. A black hose connects the tank to two dark rubber livestock water troughs placed on the ground in front of the trailer. The setting suggests a water delivery operation for livestock or wildlife in a remote, drought-affected area.
    Two goats are visible on a hillside ridge against a clear blue sky. One goat is predominantly white with brown markings and appears to be reaching downward toward dry brush, while the second goat is black with small horns and stands behind the first. The terrain is dry and arid, with sparse, leafless shrubs and dried grass.
    A large herd of goats is grazing across a dry, scrubby hillside in what appears to be a semi-arid Mediterranean or Southern California landscape. The goats span multiple elevations, from the foreground at the base of the hill to the ridgeline at the top. The vegetation is sparse and dry, suggesting late summer or drought conditions.
    A herd of goats is contained within a temporary wire mesh fence along a dry hillside road, likely being used for vegetation management or grazing. The setting appears to be a semi-arid landscape with dry brush, rocky terrain, and sparse green vegetation. A utility pole with power lines is visible in the background against a clear blue sky.
