Friendly goat in Tollymore
« on: December 06, 2012 »

This came up on my facebook feed. Perhaps some of you might keep an eye out.

Hi everyone. We were in Tollymore Forest Park yesterday eveing late and came across a very friendly Billy Goat. I reported it to the NI Forest Service. I was down this morning and did not see him. However I have been contacted to say that unless a h
ome is found ...he will be PTS/Shot.
He is incredibly friendly, which would lead me to suspect he did belong to someone. So if you know anyone who is mi
ssing a 'brown and black' friendly Billy Goat from around the Tollymore/Castlewellan area then pass on this posting with the contact details: If you know anyone who could offer this really nice guy a home then please share this message with them.
Contact number for the NI Forest Service - Castlewellan Office 028 4377 8664

lol!

Took the boys to see Billy this afternoon in his new residence...  Billy was very friendly indeed, and greeted my eldest by head butting him on the thigh  :'(
Apparently when they follow people it's not because they are being friendly, it's because they are waiting for their moment to attack!  :o Bad Billy  >:(
