Happening by chance rather than design.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 Not here. Random, maybe.\u00a0 This dispersal has been on my mind for awhile.\u00a0 It was not a last minute, get pissed kind of emotional response.\u00a0 There are a lot of factors.\u00a0 Simply put, I have too many irons in the fire.\u00a0 And NOBODY here enjoys dealing with the doe goats.\u00a0 We like the babies, I like the bucks.\u00a0 I like selling good wethers.\u00a0 Tammy has a good job.\u00a0 I have a good job.\u00a0 Nobody is in a bad mood feeding cattle.\u00a0 I am in a bad mood farming, yet it feeds the cattle and the goats.\u00a0 Every direction, none of us are in a good mood dealing with doe goats.\u00a0 It’s that simple.<\/p>\n
This isn’t written in stone.\u00a0 The plan(s) are to offer April due bred does in late Jan. or Feb.\u00a0 We will offer a set of February-born buck prospects towards the first of Feb.\u00a0 There will be a semen sale, it could be a sizable sale.\u00a0 There will also be a set of June-born buck kids.\u00a0 At some time, there will be a set of coming yearling doe kids.\u00a0 And then the bred does that are due in May.\u00a0 Maybe there will be an equipment sale. IDK.\u00a0 I need panels, feeders and such until all the goats are gone.\u00a0 We’ll cross that bridge later.\u00a0 That is the basic plan.\u00a0 But, I’m not married to anything (other than a Dragon Lady).\u00a0 Basically, if the right deal comes along, I’ll listen.<\/p>\n
If we do have an equipment sale, there may be some really cool old-school type of stuff.<\/p>\n
DO NOT call and ask for pictures or videos of buck(s).\u00a0 If we take the time to wash\/clip\/photo a goat, that thing is going to be sold online.\u00a0 If you want a bargain, come look at them BEFORE we photo.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, it should be a highly punishable offense to call\/text a breeder and ask for photos of a goat, if you have never done business with that breeder.\u00a0 Of all the changes that I have witnessed in the goat industry in the past 18 years, this is the one of the top 2 offenses.\u00a0 I hate the general publics’ dependence on pictures.\u00a0 I value a breeder’s word more than a damn picture.\u00a0 I guess that makes me old school.\u00a0 It also makes me right.\u00a0 No matter what I am selling–goats, cattle, pigs, welding projects, ag equipment–(i’ve sold a lot of stuff!)–I will always be more honest than you want.\u00a0 I’m proud of my kids, my wife, my family and I can give a rat’s ass what you think about me.\u00a0 But no matter what, if you ask, I’ll tell you everything about something I’m selling.\u00a0 If a doe is a bad momma, she has either already caught a ride to a sale barn or somehow ended up in a canyon. (of natural causes)<\/p>\n
We are 18 years into the goat business.\u00a0 I know more than most, yet still don’t know enough.\u00a0 I know that I value a momma goat that will breed, have babies and raise them in a healthy manner.\u00a0 Please call with any questions.\u00a0 I will be more honest than any when it comes to my own stock.\u00a0 I’ll tell it like it is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, on a more positive note.\u00a0 Tammy and I watched the timeless clay-mation classic–Rudolph.\u00a0 I love it, but I mocked it as we watched it.\u00a0 Why are there flowers growing in the windowbox, in the snow, close to Christmas, near the north pole?<\/p>\n
Also, are the toys from Misfit Island from china?\u00a0 Was this the beginning of the indoctrination to use cheap shitty toys from china?\u00a0 Have I ever mentioned that I have questions about politics, our government and the media?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Well, maybe, someday, I will talk about it.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, I still enjoy watching this timeless classic.\u00a0 “Bumbles bounce!”\u00a0 Yukon Cornelius is a stud.\u00a0 I still have doubts about Hermie the elf. What?\u00a0 Wait.\u00a0 You don’t?\u00a0 I don’t trust dentists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lots of snow here in NW OK.\u00a0 Supposed to get more tonight.\u00a0 It’s a PITA but it’s moisture.<\/p>\n
Stay positive yet test negative.\u00a0 Have a good one today and a better one tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
