He has a bit of an attitude at times. Actually, I’m the only one that he really likes. Eva’s aunt got him as a kid but she had too much on her plate to spend time with him the way he needed to be gentled down. But every time I visited her, I made it a point to spend some time with him. I was hoping to make him safe enough for the elderly woman to handle.
Now I am the only one who he has respect for. She gave him to me in gratitude for the work we have done to help her through the years.
I’ve talked myself out of keeping him though. Big John will be all the billy goat I need so I told Eva’s aunt to sell him. He should bring $400 + and I know she can use the cash more than I need another billy. lol
Maybe @BigMike55 is in the market for a fine Billy! Just have to throw some shades on him.
I would love to get one of those for my granddaughter! What a representation of her old grandpa! lol
That would look more like this:
I don’t think @BigMike55 would feel all warm and fuzzy about this guy after he receives this look!
Haha yall crack me up! Those Billy’s can be mean tho no joke! I hate when they get their damn horns stuck in the fence that’s the worst
You gotta know that’s true! And getting a pissed off, fighting, goat back through a fence can get a persons hands beat up pretty bad. I tell you though, if there’s something on the other side of that fence that they want to check out, they’ll get their head stuck over and over again. I heard somewhere that goats can be stubborn or something like that. lol
I’ve seen people attach pipes or axe handles … to the horns of some goats that never learn so there’s a cross bar that is too big to get through the fence. They look stupid that way but it works I guess.
Personally, I like to keep an electric fence up on the inside and outside of my field wire fence. Problem solved. And for the smaller ones, in the nursery, I use chain link.
You got that one pretty close! lol
Put a cowboy hat on him and it’s me!
Like a Harley with training wheels. That’s awesome @Hashpants , I love this!
Hey @MoBilly, @JohnnyPotseed, @BigMike55, and the rest of the green room gang. Hope everyone had a nice day.
You as well my friend.

His name is Devin. That was the name he had when Eva’s aunt bought him.
