Martin hopped off the trailer into his new house at Barn Sanctuary in October 2017. His other two amigos, Steve, and Chevy with him. The three goats had been together for a few months at that point and had experienced a traumatic event together.
Earlier that summer they were packed tightly into a trailer surrounded by other goats and sheep. The owners of the truck that pulled them decided to run from the police in what news stations later called a “high-speed chase,” goats and sheep in tow. The driver crashed the trailer during the chase and several of the animals inside died from injuries. Martin was one of the lucky survivors. The drivers were charged with over 80 offenses, including animal cruelty.
Martin is our resident oddball and underdog. He was disbudded as a young goat so he’s the only one in his friend group without horns. He loves to hang with his favorite lady, Ellen, and go for runs through the pasture.
