On the week’s edition of Feathered & Furry Friends: Gimli 🐐
Gimli joined the family four years ago as an Emergency Pasture Buddy for our mustang, Mariah, after the sudden loss of her long-time herd mate. Gimli was a one year old buck that needed to be re-homed due to behaving like a buck does around a field full of does.
His former owner said she went from having 13 open does to 13 pregnant does in roughly 24hrs after rescuing him from a neglect situation. Unfortunately no fence was going to keep him from what he felt was his sole purpose on the planet and he was already too big for her ladies (meaning kidding could present major challenges). Gimli has zero interest in humans, dogs, cats, the horse, or any other creature save for female goats and he spends his days foraging in our pasture, eating weeds and other unpalatable plants, and refusing the nice expensive hay we buy for him.
He enjoys being left TF alone and carefully crafting his signature Virile Male Goat scent which carries across the property on the slightest breeze, ensuring that all who dwell here knows that there is a true stud of a man just waiting for the right doe (or really any doe) to come along. He hates socializing, me, you, and anything not shaped like a female goat.
