🚨 GOAT ON THE LOOSE 🚨

Shelby County High School officially got GOATED today. 🐐🎓

This future valedictorian was found roaming campus trying to enroll in the Class of 2026. We’re told her electives included Agricultural Science, Advanced Grass Consumption, and Intro to Headbutting.

While they may already have school spirit, we’d really like to get her back home before she tries out for the cheer team. 😅

If this is your goat, please contact Shelby County Animal Control at 502-633-0009 to claim her. Proof of ownership required… preferably more convincing than “yeah, that looks like Stacie.” 😂
