Some people really have the nerve!

I heard from a customer of mine last week that another breeder who is in Paducah and is a VET sold her a sick buckling and refused to let her bring him in to check him over even after she had called her 3 times to tell her that he wasn't acting right.  Her response each time was that it was his laid back personality.  She told her that she had bought 2 doelings from me and they were playful and frisky and he just didn't act that way.  This other breeder told her that it was because my goats weren't as TAME as hers because I had too many goats to take care of.  First of all, she has never been to my farm nor have I talked to her so she has no idea how many goats I have nor does she know that I spend a minimum of 2 hours playing and taking care of my animals a day besides working full time.  Sometimes when I am in the middle of kidding season, I spend 4 or 5 hours in the barn with them.  Anyways back to the story, finally my customer called a different vet who told her to bring in a stool sample and the buckling had a massive load of coccidia so she was given medicine but unfortunately he died before she could get home to start the medicine.  She called the BREEDER to tell her what he had and that he had died and she had the nerve to tell her that MY goats must have contaminated hers.  My goats were never sick but I guess that is besides the point.  I just want to let anyone who reads this know that I treat my kids every 2 weeks for coccidia until they leave for their new homes so they will not be sick when the new owner gets them.  Now they can pick it up from the soil if their new home has a coccidia problem but as long as you follow my protocol on treatment, you shouldn't have any problems.  Oh did I mention that this breeder charged $300 for this sick buckling and then never offered to refund the money or replace him?  Pretty shoddy practice if you ask me.

Last of the babies have gone to their new home.

I just delivered the last of this year's babies.  Mocha and her twin boys are going to live at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville.  Hopefully the park will be reopened next year so if you ever happen to be there, look for them.
