Goats rescued after 2 days on 6-inch-wide ledgeHELENA, Mont. (AP) — Two young goats were rescued after spending two days stranded on a 6-inch wide ledge of a railroad bridge 60 feet above a road in southern Montana. Rimrock Humane Society president Sandy Church says it's not clear how the animals ended up on the rural bridge between Billings and Roundup on Tuesday. She says the nimble-footed goats may have wandered onto the ledge at night and then froze once the sun rose and they saw where they were. She and her friend Cory Freeman of Animal Edventures Sanctuary enlisted the help nearby Signal Peak Energy mine after learning of the goat's plight on Wednesday. The mine volunteered use of a piece of equipment with an arm long enough to reach the animals. Church says the rescued animals were a little dehydrated and hungry but otherwise fine. ___ Online: http://bit.ly/a2s6cn |
