There was no kidding around during a call for Surrey RCMP this week.

Authorities were roped in to wrangle up four goats that had hoofed it sometime on Tuesday and were loose along Highway 10 outside of Cloverdale around 6 p.m.

Billy clubs weren't needed, and, while they might have been cheesed, the goats were unharmed.

"All goats have been reunited with their owner, who is thankful that police located the goats and not a kid-napper," Surrey RCMP said in a press release.

No word if any of the escapees were gruff with police when recaptured.
