How do I get Gleda the Goat to stop trying to kill me?
In the quest "Night to Remember" I hit Gleda the goat when I killed the giant and now Gleda follows me and tries to kill me. What should I do with her to get her to calm down or just die? The quest flags her as essential so I can't just kill her.
Best Answer
I just tried this on my own game to see how you could get around it. After killing the giant I unloaded a bunch of Lightning Bolts into her to get her really angry.
All of Calm, Pacify and Harmony worked on her and caused her to become passive again (she's only level 3, so even at very low levels Calm should work). I also found that simply putting my weapons away caused her to become passive again as well.
Speculating, but the Imperial racial power Voice of the Emperor probably won't work as it only states that it affects Humanoids.
Disclaimer: I used a modded PC Legendary Edition client to test this, with all of the unofficial patches installed. It shouldn't cause any difference but there's always the possibility that it might.

How do I get Gleda the goat back?
Gleda will sit and wait while you engage in battle but is virtually indestructible herself as she heals very rapidly. If you skip this portion of A Night to Remember (by either persuading, bribing, or intimidating Ennis), Gleda will eventually find her way back to her owner.How do you get a goat to follow you in Skyrim?
Just follow the marker and you'll eventually find Grok the giant and the goat. Kill it and talk to the goat for it to follow you. Lead it back to Ennis to update your objectives. There's a chance that a dragon will appear near the vicinity.How do you kill Grok in Skyrim?
You can buy the goat from Halvar for 200 gold to make it your pet. She comes pre-equipped with an Animal Pack but it can be taken off if you desire. She can also be equipped with an Animal Collar. She is essential and will not engage in combat.Skyrim: Trespassing Goat (Guard kills Goat)

Answer 2
Try to reload any save before you attacked the goat. Then try to kill the giant without touching the goat, and then go back to Rorikstead.
You could also use a Calm Spell too. If you don't have one, they can be bought from any mages.
