Watch Two Hundred Goats Escape From Backyard, Wander Around California Neighbourhood

According to local resident Terry Roelands, since a hill behind his home caught fire about 15 years ago, they have been using goats several times annually to clear the brush.

An amusing incident took place earlier this week in a San Jose neighbourhood during a time when you're less likely to see one - amid a quarantine.

Some 200 goats escaped the backyard of a local resident, Terry Roelands, and went wandering around the neighbourhood.

According to Mr Roelands, one of the goats was eating flowers over a fence and somehow tapped an electric fence, causing it and others to break through the boards.

I’m dead 😂☠️ When I got back from the store all the goats had broken through the fence and were recking havoc on our street

​Neighbours said that the goats were feasting on potted plants and left a trail of droppings in their wake.
