Berthoud firefighters rescue baby goat from underground pipe

Firefighters with Berthoud Fire Protection spent two hours Monday rescuing a 5-day-old baby goat from an underground concrete pipe. The agency posted the story on their Facebook page.

They believe the goat, named “Wilson,” had followed his siblings into the pipe Sunday before he became stuck. After several attempts by Wilson’s owners to free the goat, they were forced to call in help.

When firefighters arrived, they were able to carve approximately 20 feet of the 12-inch pipe in order to remove the baby goat. Once the pipe was loosened, crews were then able to reach in and pull the animal free.

Once freed, Wilson immediately called for his mother. The two were happily reunited, as he pranced alongside her across the pasture.
