Goats Found On The Loose In Long Valley: Police

The goats were taken back to police headquarters.

LONG VALLEY, NJ — Two goats were found wandering the Long Valley roadways this weekend, Washington Township police said.

Police picked the goats up in the area of Naughright Road and Arrow Head Drive Sunday evening. No owner was in the area, so police took the goats back to headquarters before turning them over to animal control.

It's not clear when the goats came from, but this is not the first time in recent months area goats have made the news. Fred the goat, a beloved goat that escaped a Hackettstown auction a year ago, was captured last week. Before that, dozens of goats, sheep, and piglets escaped from the auction. One is still on the loose, police said.
