HA ! I had to rescue one at my friend's place yesterday. She was stuck in a chicken nest...... Not a tiny goat, a 1/2 grown LaMancha!

I bet they were up there giggling at all the humans trying to figure out how to get them down. Goats are crazy!! Gotta love them.

I wonder if the goats thought they were stranded.

Wow, they were way up there. At least they found a place that was difficult for predators to reach them.

Here's the rest of the story on those goats.......

They still don't know who the owners are, although both goats had collars on.



Here's the YouTube footage of the goat rescue.

I have a feeling the goats would have found their way down if the humans had not intervened.

<shrug> Either way, the goats are safe, and no one is any worse for the wear.

I thought it was funny! If somebody would have just stood on one end of the bridge and shook a grain can, they probably would have come running. It's just down the road from me, too. And NO, it wasn't my goats!!

They were so little! I got dizzy just watching the rescue video.

I'm glad this ended well.

our goats would have thought of that bridge as a gaint play house, I just don't see those goats as "stuck".
