As I begin to really have to deal with this dispersal, my mind is rolling with thoughts, memories, emotions and joy.\u00a0 Could I keep it going?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Do I have the help?\u00a0 NO!\u00a0 Do I\/WE want to?\u00a0 NO.\u00a0 It is time.\u00a0 Maybe even past time.\u00a0 But no matter.\u00a0 We will be offering some good stuff over the next couple of months.\u00a0 Why are we stretching it out?\u00a0 1–Time.\u00a0 2–I’ve got a couple of decades into this deal, I can wait a couple of weeks or months.<\/p>\n
I am aware that some of you readers are waiting on a royal Kelln melt-down.\u00a0 It may happen but let’s be real.\u00a0 I haven’t had any fear before, so why would not owning some goats change that.\u00a0 I have and will always defy the crooked bastards in any industry.\u00a0 I didn’t like your new president and he is making me look like I was right.\u00a0 I don’t want to be right.\u00a0 But, I am.<\/p>\n
I wish we were doing a dispersal in Washington D.C.\u00a0 But the only bidder would be China putting in a max bid and some online sale hosts would be doing all of the bidding to max out the bids.<\/p>\n
Why the dispersal?<\/p>\n
Simple.\u00a0 It isn’t fun.\u00a0 Tammy nor I am in a good mood while dealing with goats.\u00a0 We loved the kids that showed goats.\u00a0 I like the bucks.\u00a0 We love the babies.\u00a0 WE HATE THE FEMALE DOE GOAT!\u00a0 It’s that simple.<\/p>\n
After washing, clipping and picturing this last set of bucks, it is apparent how big an asset Duke was to the operation.\u00a0 He helped break them to show.\u00a0 He understands all aspects of the game.\u00a0 Setting up, washing, clipping, behind the camera and setting them up.\u00a0 Plus, a huge plus, he was coachable.\u00a0 He could work with Helms, Gallagher, Braden Schovanec, Milligan, Bryan Kennedy and his dad.<\/p>\n
I’ve always had great help on picture day.\u00a0 All of you online buyers should come and watch the behind the scene work and efforts.\u00a0 It is a LOT of work with a lot of moving pieces.\u00a0 That is why I get so pissy when I get a text from some random # wanting more pics, video, can you take another pic from this angle?\u00a0 RUFSM?\u00a0 I hate this part of the current industry.\u00a0 Call me.\u00a0 I’ll be brutally honest.<\/p>\n
I might oblige if they included their name with the text.\u00a0 But, no.\u00a0 It is always some low-rent tire-kicking bastard that will bid at 8 am and then is out.\u00a0 If you text me, include your name.\u00a0 Otherwise, go waste somebody else’s time.\u00a0 Ass clowns!<\/p>\n
Delivery.\u00a0 There is NOBODY in the industry that deals with delivery of livestock better than I.\u00a0 I will go the extra mile to get an animal on a trailer.\u00a0 I prefer Rodney Washmon and Bob May.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 One is damn good and a good friend.\u00a0 The other is a friend and invented the livestock hauling industry.\u00a0 But, I will gladly deal with anybody.\u00a0 If an animal is going to the SouthEast, I will meet Andrew Israel or whomever.\u00a0 Lippert, gladly.\u00a0 Just remember, hauling is the BUYER’s responsibility.\u00a0 But, I truly feel that when a breeder signs up for an online sale, they must be prepared to accommodate the hauler and the buyer within reason.<\/p>\n
I would like to teach a goat history class.\u00a0 Too many don’t know the history and don’t respect the previous efforts.\u00a0 They use lines, 900 bred, 191 grandson or just the names of the breeder’s.<\/p>\n
