After speaking with the animals' owner, officers discovered that a suspect had taken three goats from the property the night before.

The animals in question are Boer goats, which Britannica notes are "prized for their size, rapid weight gain, carcass quality, hardiness, and docility." According to The Happy Chicken Coop, show Boer goats, like those stolen, can go for $400 to $500 each.

The three stolen goats are all females — two are microchipped, and one, who is pregnant, has identifying ear tattoos.

"The goats are well taken care of, and the owner is hoping for the immediate return for the animals' safety," WCSO said.

The agency is asking for the public's help in finding the goats, which look similar to their herd members pictured below. If found, WCSO will scan the animals' microchips to verify that they are the stolen goats.
