This should be a short blog post, cuz I don’t know much. \u00a0Just ask the Dragon Lady. \u00a0But I do know that good goats will sell real good.<\/p>\n
I do know that anybody that wants to ACTUALLY work at helping sell goats (washing, clipping, photoing, etc) will make money. \u00a0I can clip, photo, etc. \u00a0I DON’T want nor like to do it. \u00a0It is money well spent to hire good help. \u00a0Anytime you readers need help, do like Blondie and Call Me. \u00a0I will gladly help hook you up with people that will do it RIGHT. Of course, I am partial to our homegrown talent of Braden and Duke, but people, I have dealt with a lot of these, and will gladly help hook workers up with work to be done. \u00a0In some lines of business, this is called a pimp, except I ain’t getting nothing out of it. \u00a0Hopefully, some will repay me down the road.<\/p>\n
I do know that good livestock people always sell stock. \u00a0Maybe not get rich kind of money, but make money and keep product moving. \u00a0Hope they get a good home and therefore a repeat buyer. \u00a0This smoke & mirrors crap that goes on just don’t work for me. \u00a0I do know that those sales that are BS kind of stuff (yeah, we covered it to 6 grand or whatever, but it didn’t change hands kind of deal NEVER pay off in the long run). \u00a0It doesn’t work for anybody.<\/p>\n
The Banners and Backdrops sale went real well. \u00a0The top end of the does were WICKED! \u00a0And they sold real well. \u00a0Milligan’s Diana was an all time great. \u00a0She sold to Jan Rogers in Colorado. \u00a0The reserve doe was a product of Jason Barnes. \u00a0This little chick was WICKED AWESOME! \u00a0I know her new home and am happy for them. \u00a0Anybody that knows me, knows that I hate does. \u00a0And I don’t like spending money on does. \u00a0But even I was trying to get mentally geared up to spend some jack. \u00a0Luckily, other people were thinking harder than I was.<\/p>\n
The bucks sold too cheap. \u00a0But, they all sold. \u00a0An Oregon phone buyer owned the grand buck. \u00a0These bucks will work. I sold one of them and bought a different one. \u00a0Both were too cheap. \u00a0But, it was real. \u00a0They actually changed owners.<\/p>\n
The sale was real good. \u00a0It takes a lot of help to make these things roll right. \u00a0As always, Julie Milligan took care of the paperwork. \u00a0Bryan Kennedy, TravASS Schovanec, Tyke Greer, Shane Parli and Erick Ring made things roll. \u00a0The quail\/fish dinner was AWESOME!!!!!!!! \u00a0 \u00a0Lots of kids worked liked sled dogs to help. \u00a0Big crowd. \u00a0This was a good sale that was REAL! \u00a0I would say it was REAL GOOD!<\/p>\n
After 4 online sales and 1 live sale in a 2 week period, I can tell \u00a0you that here’s what I know\u2026\u2026..There are a lot of really good people in this business.<\/p>\n
I do enjoy meeting new people. \u00a0And people, I get to deal with some of the best. \u00a0I love to talk and share experiences with other breeders from across the U.S. \u00a0 I love it when people want to talk and walk and look. \u00a0Dude, it ain’t about the money. \u00a0I can run my mouth with the best of them but I am real good at listening. \u00a0I do know that much. \u00a0And I learn from everybody that I encounter. \u00a0Thanks to all buyers and bidders.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of people looking for honest help. \u00a0There a lot of people willing to spend hard earned money for good goats. \u00a0There are a lot of people willing to haul livestock across the county. \u00a0There is a strong market for good goats. \u00a0The market is flooded on yearling does unless they are wicked good. \u00a0There are a lot of people that are sick of dirty pool, getting screwed kind of deals.<\/p>\n
Some of you big dogs need to clean this game up\u2026.breeders, jocks, judges, etc. \u00a0I can’t do it. \u00a0 I just have a small, profitable 50+ plus head herd of goats. \u00a0I don’t have the influence to change the industry. Too many people are getting out of the game because they don’t feel like they have a chance. \u00a0Hell, I don’t have a chance, but we’re still at the tables because we are stubborn nor scared of the powers that be in this game. \u00a0Duke, Tammy and I are all in. \u00a0Don’t bet on us to WIN. \u00a0Bet you can dang sure make money on us to SHOW. \u00a0We are in it for the production of a stellar kid. \u00a0We’ve won more than most but not as much as some. \u00a0But our wins are clean and came with no regerts. \u00a0I meant no regrets. \u00a0( that is a cool movie deal) \u00a0 We are good with what our goals have been and are. \u00a0That’s what I know.<\/p>\n
I know that I personally spend over $100K in this goat industry and have every year for many years. \u00a0I’m not talking in feed expenses. \u00a0I’m talking in buying actual goats. \u00a0I ain’t talking fake crap. \u00a0Those are cashed checks. \u00a0Ask my accountant. Breeding stock, wethers or doe kids. \u00a0I’m going to spend that every year, somewhere. \u00a0There isn’t very many more people in the industry that ACTUALLY spend that kind of money in this industry year in and year out. \u00a0And that ain’t counting the people that I help. \u00a0That is just my dumb ass writing checks. \u00a0And only one time did I ask a breeder to wait till next Wednesday to cash that check. \u00a0 (I bought a buck prospect name Rumour Has It that weekend.) \u00a0I will not spend it on smoke and mirrors, politics or bullshit deals. I might buy the wrong one, but it will be my fault. \u00a0I will continue to spend this money with reputable breeders and will not spend it for politics, dirty pool or just trying to buy a banner. \u00a0I will spend it to help up & coming breeders become successful before I put it on a dirty pool table with a bunch of political mouth breathers that are taking orders from some ass clown that only plays when politics are in play.<\/p>\n
This smoke and mirrors crap isn’t good for the industry. \u00a0If you are reading this and wondering if it applies to you, \u00a0then it probably does. \u00a0And if you don’t like it\u2026I have 2 letters in the alphabet for you and the letters F & U come to my mind. \u00a0And I will gladly discuss my thoughts at anytime. \u00a0Just call me at 580-571-5029. \u00a0I will get lots of calls\/texts\/emails but it won’t be from the crooks. \u00a0They will be the ones having a lawyer reading this text to see if they can sue. \u00a0Good Luck! \u00a0I enjoy talking to lawyers. \u00a0Especially when the same party has to have two different lawyers. \u00a0My legal address is on the webpage.<\/p>\n
I also know that too many people read this crap that I write. \u00a0Which means that I am probably right.<\/p>\n
Have a good day and a better tomorrow. \u00a0I had a great day and am looking forward to the next day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
p.s. I know that I shouldn’t hit publish on this one but\u2026. here it goes\u2026.<\/p>\n
