The most memorable Oregon example of animal weather forecasting involved a herd of goats residing on Mt. Nebo, near Roseburg. As Mike Thoele reported in the Eugene Register-Guard (May 27, 1986), the goat herd slowly became a legend in Roseburg, but quickly became notorious when a local radio station began a promotional series which pitted the goats' forecasting skill against the National Weather Service - and some claimed the goats did better.
