The call came in on Tuesday. Two young goats were stranded on the narrow ledge of a railroad bridge where it passes over a little-used stretch of road between Billings and Roundup in Montana. The only problem was, nobody could pinpoint where exactly this was (that should tell you how remote this area is). It took a very long and hot two days, but eventually the goats were found and rescued; however, it took a whole team of helpers to get them down safe and sound.
For two young goats, both between 25 and 35 pounds, it took a whole lot of people to rescue them. For one, there was Sandy Church, president of the Rimrock Humane Society. There was also Cory Freeman, of Animal Edventures Sanctuary, Musselshell County sherrif’s deputies, and mining crew members from Signal Peak Energy, who provided the cherry-picker needed to get the goats down.
Amazingly enough, the goats were hungry but unharmed after their adventure. The two goats were wearing collars, and attempts are being made to find the owner of the animals. If that person can’t be located, there are plenty of willing adoptive parents just looking for a couple of cute kids.
