I received a reply from the Water Quality Superintendant that sadly there were no City goats on the dam. He suggested that they might be deer that crossed Hefner from Bluff Creek.
However, in his email I did find a compatriot in that he has been suggesting using goats to maintain the steeply sloped banks of the Hefner Canal! I'm thinking City Goatherder might not be such a bad job, but I guess we would need to Oklahoma-ize it to something like Goat Wrangler or Goat Marshal.
