North Yorkshire Police are appealing for the owner of nine goats to come forward.
They were in the Thorpe Underwood area, between York and Boroughbridge.
They are currently safe and being well cared for. But officers want to trace their owner.
A North Yorskshire Police spokesman said: "This certainly isn't a sentence you say every day, but if you're missing nine goats or know anyone who is, we'd love to hear from you."
