NBC News reported, “(Zach) Roelands’ father, Terry, told NBC Bay Area that he'd been using goats a few times a year to clear the brush, ever since the hill behind his home caught on fire about 15 years ago. This year, however, the goats were able to leave the area. According to Roelands, one of the goats started breaking the boards on the fence in an attempt to eat flowers on its other side and the other goats followed suit.”
It added, “The goats then proceeded to roam the streets, until a neighbor was able to lead them back to the ranchlands. Though the incident only lasted minutes, it provided a bounty of laughs. Zach Roelands is asking those who enjoyed the video of the goats to make a donation to Feeding America, an organization working to combat hunger.”
“All of a sudden they get onto our driveway and it was very exciting but I was a little bit nervous because the garage was open and I thought they might get into the garage,” Amit Patel told NBC Bay Area.
