A Washington state homeowners association may have to rethink its strategy to keep the neighbourhood looking well-kept.

Earlier this month, dozens of goats swarmed the community near Seattle after escaping their enclosure and winding up on the streets.

The association was using the goats to eat the weeds and erroneous vegetation that grows between home, but the animals appear to be taking their jobs too seriously.

Witnesses say the goats became engaged in a "feeding frenzy" that was so intense, even a herding dog couldn't corral them.

After several hours and a lot of help from the community, the goats were put back in their pen.
