NORTHPORT, NY — Cleaning up after oneself is a good habit to get into. So it's no surprise that when volunteers started sweeping up Saturday evening at the Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary in Northport, they got some "help" from one of its longtime residents.

Oreo, an 8-year-old goat known for causing mischief, grabbed a push-broom and did his best to pitch in when volunteer Lenore Mamarella started sweeping around the farm. Video posted to the farm sanctuary's Facebook page showed Oreo holding the broom with his head and appear to try to sweep too. By Monday, the video had already earned more than 2,600 views and hundreds of reactions.
