Clinton’s I-95 ‘Roaming Goats’ Safely Captured and Returned to Farm

A coordinated humane plan using routine feeding, trail cameras and a temporary corral ended months of sightings without injuries.

Overview

  • The three goats were captured together on Friday and transported in a livestock trailer back to their local goat farm, officials said.
  • Police and animal control shifted from early failed attempts to a structured feeding schedule at a designated site to acclimate the animals.
  • Trail cameras monitored the goats’ behavior and health throughout the effort, guiding the timing of the capture.
  • Officers erected a temporary corral at the feeding area and gradually modified it until it safely contained the herd.
  • The animals gained a following of roughly 1,000 people on an official Facebook page, where fans dubbed them Dorothy, Rose and Blanche and praised their roadside brush clearing.
