Animal control officials in Montana said they are trying to track down the owner of a goat found inside a local bar.

Jacki Casagranda, supervisor of the Chelsea Bailey Butte-Silver Bow Animal Shelter, said an animal control officer responded 1:30 a.m. Sunday to a bar in Butte on a report of a goat being brought inside the facility and the animal, which shelter workers have dubbed Shirley, was brought to the shelter when no one at the facility claimed ownership, The Montana Standard, Butte, reported Thursday.

Casagranda said bar patrons were fortunate the goat is a friendly and calm animal, as that is not always the case with animals brought to loud, public places.

"Animals should not be in bars," Casagranda said. "In general, for the community, for the owners, and for the animal it's just not a good situation."

Casagranda said authorities are hoping to identify the goat's owner.

"Hopefully we'll find the owner," Casagranda said. "If not, hopefully we'll find her a good new home."

To catch a goat, you grab the hind leg (usually being used by the goat to run) reach up to the head with the left hand while holding on to the leg that the goat is trying to kick himself loose.(hold real tight.

Now you have a hind leg with right hand and base of horn with the other...using your knee to slightly get the goat off balance....flop them on their side and sit on them...clipping begins...

I had one of my girlfriends come out to help trim hoofs. She was almost 5 foot tall and went after one of the males. she lost control of the goat and just got dragged around the barn until I quit laughing. She ended up rideing that goat like this picture before I got into the pen to rescue her.....goat not hurt...(I am a real sympathetic person...

I came home from town yesterday and found them wandering the yard, as I’d failed to latch their door securely.

They’d have to walk about 7-8 miles to find a bar.

[Elsie]

How do you people FIND these things?

[Elsie]

[Elsie]

Police report questioning everyone in the bar if they owned the goat
All the patrons responded NAAAAAY!

They all get better looking at closing time.

That's when Men Who Stare at Goats become competitive.
