\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I don’t even want to be a part of any of these goat discussions but like a great Whitesnake song–“Here I go Again!”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I do not know everything about the goat industry.\u00a0 I know more than most but not as much as a couple of others.\u00a0 I have been around and been associated with “In Demand” goats.\u00a0 900, Freaky, 191 and Rumour Has It to name a few.\u00a0 Let’s take Rumour Has It for example.\u00a0 Rumour sired two reserve grands at OYE and a bronze at OYE.\u00a0 He sired lots of other winners.\u00a0 He sired his share of $10K+\u00a0 bucks.\u00a0 His daughters are still working.\u00a0 His sons have sired winning wethers.\u00a0 His genetics are still going.\u00a0 Rumour also had DNA on file with the abga for percentage goats.\u00a0 We sold a LOT of semen at $500 plus.\u00a0 And we sold a lot of semen the past 8 years.\u00a0 It goes without saying that Rumour Has It was a very profitable goat.\u00a0 His progeny still shows up in genetic profiles.\u00a0 \u00a0Plus, he has been dead over 5 years.\u00a0 Is Rumour the most profitable goat ever?\u00a0 Heck no!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I can’t tell you how much That’s What She Said has generated in semen sales or immediate progeny.\u00a0 I can tell you this much, it is a shit-load.\u00a0 She Said will go on the Mount Rushmore of top bucks of all time.\u00a0 And I bet that he hasn’t sold $765,000 worth.\u00a0 Maybe he has, maybe not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Raff and Jamie have had as big of run as any for a long, long time.\u00a0 That Black Gold buck sired a lot of champions and wasn’t around a long time.\u00a0 But people knew who he was.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here’s what I do know.\u00a0 I have seen a lot of goats in my career.\u00a0 And I have never seen a real-life offspring of Hazardous.\u00a0 Who?\u00a0 Exactly.\u00a0 Once you tell somebody that it is that black and white, glued-up, photo-shopped buck from some shooting star deal, they go, “Oh yeah.\u00a0 That one.”\u00a0 Not one banner pic of a kid.\u00a0 No major pic, no district pics, nada.\u00a0 Not one legendary offspring.\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 Yet, 2 straws of juice at $3,750.\u00a0 I think not.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0And THEN.\u00a0 A week later, 2 more straws are offered by a legit seller on a legit website and they bring $1,100.\u00a0 That’s a big damn discrepancy.\u00a0 I’m a thinking that I’m not the only one that is thinking this is all bullshit!<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Hell, the owner of hazardous should have at least ran that offering to $2,500 to protect the value.\u00a0 Oh, but there are no more straws left!\u00a0 I might believe that if they kept their stuff stored at REI.\u00a0 Trust me, I know that the inventory at that place varies from month to month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I don’t wish anybody ill-will.\u00a0 Yet, I don’t want this bullshit stuff to take over the industry.\u00a0 Keep it realistic.\u00a0 Jeez!!\u00a0<\/p>\n I called bullshit back on that $70K wether in April and I was RIGHT on that deal.\u00a0 I’m right on this deal as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Time to start selling t-shirts that says, BS–Kelln said!\u00a0 on the front.\u00a0 And on the back–He’s right!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Come on, people!\u00a0 Keep it real!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I don’t even want to be a part of any of these goat discussions but like a great Whitesnake song–“Here I go Again!”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I do not know everything about the goat industry.\u00a0 I know more than most but not as much as […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4505"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4505"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4506,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4505\/revisions\/4506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
