WATCH: Deputy lassos goat in Rochester neighborhood
ROCHESTER, Minn. — A Minnesota deputy got to put his roping skills to good use Sunday morning after a goat was found wandering around a Rochester neighborhood.
The Olmsted County Sheriff's Office says Rochester police officers were first called to the scene at about 11 a.m. before "Deputy Heiden self-dispatched" to help out.

Heiden made a stop at Leashes and Leads in Byron first to "borrow a rope," the sheriff's office said.
The goat was safely captured and transported to Rochester Animal Control.
"We'd like to say … Deputy - 1, Goat - 0 … but in the end, it was a win-win," the sheriff's office said.
The goat was eventually reunited with its owner.
