July 25 (UPI) -- Police in California put their shepherding skills to the test when they were called to round up a herd of goats that escaped their enclosure and took over a neighborhood.

The Pinole Police Department posted a video to Facebook showing the Shea Drive neighborhood overrun with escaped goats.

The goats were rounded up and returned to their enclosure.

The ownership of the goats was unclear from the post, but the escape took place the same day Bay Area Rapid Transit announced it would be replacing its herd of fire mitigation goats with a flock of sheep.

hmmmmmm.....

for some reason this Scripture came to mind:

Matthew 25:32

32 And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a Shepherd divideth His sheep from the goats:

Try to find a border collie or some other type of herding dog and round them up or if the owner is around, see if he can call them up with some food.

Growing up we live on about 10 acres and has a few cattle, I came home one day and all the cows were out and just wandering around, I got some hay and feed and while calling them poured it into their trough, they came running back into the field I closed the gate behind them.

And, just in, Nancy Mace questioning a UFO whistleblower today:

"At a House hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena, former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch said "non-human" biologics came with some alleged craft recoveries. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., asked him if "we have the bodies of the pilots who pilot this craft."

Great use of police resources...

JW?

Soon as you nail that offendin' vehicle, Miss Pearson just called.

She's got him locked up in the shed and wondered if you'd like to come over and shoot it for her.

California needs to find a critter that can clean out the floors of their badly managed forests that are causing all the fires.

(Maybe elephants...)

Get a few people with buckets of cracked corn. Rattle the bucket a few times and maybe let a few goats have a nibble. Then walk as fast as you can in the direction you want the goats to go. For they will follow you and even may even trample you to get to that bucket of corn. If you get in your car and drive slowly with the bucket hanging out the window, you will have goats trotting beside your car following you to where ever you wish them to go.

One thing that will NOT work is chasing a goat. All it does is piss off the goat and wear you out.

While driving through downtown Kingston, Jamaica I saw a couple goats walking down the sidewalk. A couple days later drove by a scene near downtown with a dead cow on the side of the road. A bunch of Jamaicans with machetes were in the process of cutting it up.

When my goats es Al all I have to do is shake the old coffee can I use to give them grain in the morning. They come running.
