Huge thank you to everybody that had anything to do with our online buck sale. \u00a0I am ecstatic with how it went and look forward to getting sale and show reports of the kids from these bucks.<\/p>\n
I do think that it would be good for all goat buyers, breeders and sellers to have to deal with an online yearling buck sale. \u00a0It ain’t fun. \u00a0You don’t just grab a yearling buck out of the pen and make them set up. \u00a0A yearling buck isn’t cute, fuzzy, they have a smell, an attitude and dang they do not want to take video. \u00a0But, I am going to figure that out.<\/p>\n
I really like it when people venture to Fargo to get their hands on these dudes. \u00a0I do enjoy taking most calls, some texts and trying to describe each goat to the best of my ability. \u00a0I would rather take the breeders word for it then watch some video. \u00a0But, I get it. \u00a0And the consumer is always right. \u00a0So, we will figure out this video deal.<\/p>\n
Now, for the rest of the story. \u00a0I did not want to sell lot 1. \u00a0DID NOT WANT TO SELL HIM! \u00a0But, after taking pics, we had a goat stone up. \u00a0He was a Manilla Gorilla x Rumour Has It x Smokestack. I loved this goat. \u00a0But, he stoned and he was not going to be a breeder. \u00a0Down you go then. \u00a0So, lot #1 became available.<\/p>\n
Last year, Tom & Kerensa Kester bought Prom Date. \u00a0I bought back 1\/2 of him. \u00a0Then he decided to be a goat and find a unique way to end his existence. \u00a0The Kester’s then leased Manilla Gorilla. \u00a0When they came to pick him up, I said, “Take this young buck and breed to him. \u00a0He will work.” \u00a0They were a bit shell shocked. \u00a0WTH?! \u00a0Why? \u00a0The blood in this one is wicked good. \u00a0Use him. \u00a0Use him hard.<\/p>\n
On their way back home, they had to take a detour through Tulsa. \u00a0They called, “Does this young buck have a name?” \u00a0NOPE. \u00a0“Can we call him Detour?” \u00a0Yep.<\/p>\n
Fast forward—At the end of March, they started having Detour kids. \u00a0I have yet to be to NE OK to see these kids, but the future sounds promising. \u00a0And if the bigger, badder twin brother is available, well, you buy him. \u00a0And that is what Tom & Kerensa Kester did. \u00a0They bought the good one. \u00a0And if you couldn’t tell in the comments on lot 1, I think that this one is a damn good one. \u00a0If the Kester’s sell semen or do outside breedings to him, I highly recommend using him. \u00a0 I will gladly tell you what kind of doe to breed to him (most all of them) but you need to make arrangements with Kerensa. \u00a0Probably, not Tom.<\/p>\n
Seven bucks that are headed to 5 different states–from coast to coast. \u00a0Considering that we are just a small operation located south of Fargo, OK–Dude, that is cool. \u00a0The power of the internet. \u00a0To think back to 2003 when Kela, Danielle Litzenberger and Kourtney Childers conned me into showing goats and then Kela took a website called oklahomashowgoats.com, held the first ever online goat sale then went to college, now Hollywood and I’m left with the goats and the Milligan’s have the website. \u00a0What the?! \u00a0It’s all cool. \u00a0Keep your eyes open and your head on a swivel.<\/p>\n
It is cool when people start texting you the names of their new buck purchases, literally within minutes of the sale closing. \u00a0When they have been here, seen em and have an idea–that is fun.<\/p>\n
Thank you to all that help. \u00a0I know that I can be\/seem like\/be an ass, but I do appreciate all that it takes to make these things work. \u00a0Thank you.<\/p>\n
Now, time to slide into the next one. \u00a0And it is just one. \u00a0But\u2026..if you are needing that buck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
