A locally famous goat who escaped from a New Jersey auction house more than a year ago has been recaptured and now faces an uncertain fate.

Fred the goat, credited with helping other animals escape, was caught Tuesday and returned to the farmer who bought him before his initial flight from Hackettstown Livestock Auction, according to Lehigh Valley Live . Since the news of his capture broke, Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in High Falls, New York, has offered Fred a home for life.
