Ah nice seeing something like this on HN. In India, it's common to hire goats for another, lets just say complementary reason. Their droppings are really good natural fertiliser. So farmers pay sheep/goat herders to get them to visit their farm for a few days before the sowing season.

I'm from India and I never heard of this.

I'm pretty sure people do this, but it's the "it's common" part that bothers me.

It's like saying Indians are vegetarians. All Indians aren't.

Whenever I hear someone say "(X) is common" in any country with more than about 20 million people, I just mentally append "in my area".
