Add PhotosOil field workers were on the ranch and one of the workers took a shotgun and killed the Billy Goat grazing there, cut his head off as a trophy because of the horns and left the body. Gerald Collier called the oil company and told them he wanted the goathead back, the gun back and the man back out on the ranch for a proper burial of the goat. Mr. Collier had the oil field worker who shot the goat to dig the grave while he told him how important a billy goat was to a herd, that he was their protector. When Mr. Collier passed away he was laid to rest at the burial grounds with the goat.
Story related by Allan Adams as told to him by the family, transcribed by Linda Fox Hughes.
