Anybody here familiar with goats?

7. My grandfather kept them

They were more than half wild and lived in a fenced in area that was half pasture and half woods. They had no man made shelter but were not f'n tied up. I am sure they made their own beds in long grass or thickets the way they evolved to do. Just like deer or elk.

He would use them to clean out pastures or yards overgrown with weeds.

And it would have taken one hell of a dog to harm the big old Billies. They scared the shit of 10 year old me. The does and kids would have been at risk.

Funny thing is they liked to climb. They would get up on the truck hoods and honest to God I saw some in a live oak tree. Wish there were cell phones with cameras back then!
