Goatherd is also know as the Pontiac GTO car club in the state of Oregon in the United States. The purpose of this club is the restoration, preservation and enjoyment of the legendary Pontiac GTO automobile. We host regular events, tours, rallies, shows for it's members. Club members also provide valuable advice on parts location, technical support and recommendations on service providers to help with small and large projects.

The Goat Herd also welcomes all Pontiac enthusiasts and persons who appreciate the classic car hobby, whether you own a classic car or not. Website www.goatherd.com

A goatherd or goatherder is a person who herds goats as a vocational activity. It is similar to a shepherd who herds sheep. Goatherds are most commonly found in regions where goat populations are significant; for instance, in Africa and South Asia. Goats are typically bred as dairy or meat animals, with some breeds being shorn for wool. The top six goat industry groups in the United States include: meat (includes show), dairy (includes show, pygmy and Nigerian dwarf), fiber or hair (angora, cashmere), 4-H, industrial (weed control, hiking/pack), and biotech (see Goats in agriculture).

Companies using goats to control and eradicate leafy spurge, knapweed, and other toxic weeds have sprouted across the American West.
