A wandering Missouri goat whose exploits have been chronicled on a popular Facebook page has been captured. Mervin Beechy noticed the goat yesterday afternoon while he was driving around the eastern Missouri town of Mexico. Beechy said he only had to chase the goat on horseback for about a quarter-mile before roping him. The goat had been eluding capture since August 21st. Animal control officers had been calling him Billy Goat Gruff. The Facebook fan page that someone started for the goat has more than 8,000 fans. A post yesterday, written from the goat’s perspective, says he’s been kept out of traffic until he can “bust back out” or “figure out what’s next.”
