Animal control apparently showed up with one truck before quickly realizing it wouldn't contain the rampant kids, KTVB says. But around 10:45 am., the source of the invasion was revealed: The herd was corralled into a truck owned by We Rent Goats, an Idaho business that delivers live weed munchers to trim up your property. These classy business goats were simply doing their job — and rounding up some free advertising along the way.
