‘No pay. No explanation. No apologies’: 60-year-old rancher gets cornered by a wealthy acquaintance from high school to have his goats clear the brush on her land for free, he refuses and the Malibu woman turns snobby

Reaching out to an old friend can be awkward and a bit uncomfortable at first, but with enough pleasantries and catching up, a friendship from decades ago can be reignited. However, when the first word you've exchanged in 40 years is demands for a favor, burning the bridge towards a fast friendship lights up faster than reminiscent memories. 

This rancher used to own a goat-run, brush-clearing business. Using his livestock to clear away unwanted brush in the California hills proved to be lucrative and rewarding work, so by the time he reached his 60s, he was happy to retire his army of goats and hang up his cowboy hat. That is, until he received a phone call from a seemingly desperate old friend. 

However, her desperation came just shy of her checkbook. Despite inheriting millions and a Malibu coastal mansion, she refused to offer him a cent for his goat services and demanded he simply 'do her a favor.' There are few friendships where it's acceptable to force your counterpart into manual labor without pay, but for a long-lost high school acquaintance, there was no way this rancher was going to leave the comfort of his wrap-around patio rocking chair—with or without the goats!
