Wild goats take up residence near Ottawa quarry
For more than a decade a group of wild goats has inhabited woods near the Caylor Coal Inc. quarry east of Ottawa. Residents view them as an asset or nuisance, while authorities say there is no owner and no clear jurisdiction. The goats roam freely, crossing 15th Street and drawing calls to animal control, though no one has acted to relocate them.
