The goat is stolen property, quite valuable property at that. They probably just went to the animal rescue and asked them to hand it over. After all, I doubt the animal rescue wants to deal with possession of stolen property charges.
The article is vague on how they "retrieved" the goat, probably intentionally so. Considering the whole framing of the article they would have mentioned if they went full FBI OPEN UP!
Only an issue if they forced their way onto that other farm.
If they just went along and said "Hey that goat the crazy lady gave you is stolen, we'd like to take it back now" and the farm owner went "Oh, right, I thought she was being weird. These documents do look in order, here you go!" then that's all fine I believe.

You are right, if I'm remember it correctly. They just gave it back to the deputies.
