Happy heavenly birthday to the greatest grandfather that’s ever existed. Monroe Lee Todd, the namesake of Todd Goat Farm, would have been 98 today. Born and raised in Garland(&Farmersville), graduated from Garland High School, served in Army in Korea, worked for Lone Star Gas before becoming a Richardson Fireman. He worked his way up to fire Marshall and assistant fire chief before retiring in the late 80's. He started with the farm in the 60's on family land of his wife's parents, the Talley's (yes the road), after building the house. Horses, beef cattle, dairy cows, chickens, doves, a donkey or two, and several dogs, have all been on the farm. Luckily for y'all, he started with one goat (Buffy) in the late 70's for my sister to have "something to play with" when she visited. A great man, a great friend, and most importantly, a great Godly example. We love and miss you every single day.
