The Newaygo County Sheriff's Office rounded up a couple of loose goats Saturday.
The Sheriff's Office shared pictures on Facebook of the goats in the back of a cruiser.
"Some people think we just horse around, but today we were able to put our goat lasso training to good use," the post said.
Police said the goats escaped from the back seat, but deputies were able to catch them following a "short foot pursuit."
The goats have been lodged at an animal shelter, police said.
"If you are missing your goats, they can be bonded out first thing Monday morning at the shelter, or contact dispatch at 231-689-5288," the Sheriff's Office said.
But that won't be necessary.
Stephanie LaBelle said she got the two goats—Snickers and her mother, Apricot—a few days ago and since then they've been pacing the fence looking for weak spots.
Saturday, when Labelle was out with her kids on an Easter egg hunt, the goats escaped.
"They must have springs in their legs!" she said.
Labelle started to search around the area for the goats, and after a few hours an animal control officer stopped by her house and asked if she was missing something. He took her to the animal shelter where the goats were being kept.
Labelle said Snickers and Apricot are now back home "milked and happy," but she has some work to do on her fence because of the goats, which she called "Houdinis."
