Sold a goat to a MAGA guy today... [View all]
A guy who has bought dairy goats from me for several years brought another guy looking for a black buck. I sold him one, I'm always excited to get rid of the bucks... they have limited demand in dairy herds of course. The doelings are like gold and any time I've advertised any they go in just a couple of weeks. But this is my second "buck year" in a row having almost twice as many boys as girls it was something like 16-9. Not too good, but with today's sale only 3 boys left from the spring... so here's why I'm telling the story here...
I loaded this little guy up in his van. He was born in March maybe 60-70 lbs fit in a large carrier. Then I went to the house to make out his registration paper with the dairy goat association and get a syringe with wormer to worm him on his way out. When I get back to the barn the guy steps out of the vehicle with a MAGA Trump 2020 hat on. He didn't have that on before but I would have probably took his $250 anyway given the alternative for these bucks would be somebody's freezer. When I sell them registered they go to breed and oh they do get excited about that!
I just ignored it but on his way out the drive he stops the van and says, "What do you think of my hat?"
My wife looks at me like "oh boy." I said, "Well I think it sucks, but I'm glad I got your money before you asked me that question!"
The guy looks concerned says, "Well you may want to rethink that because you don't want to live in a country where Biden is President."
I smiled and told him, "Look who knows but I've had 3 1/2 years to realize I sure as fuck don't want to live in this America where that hateful fool on your hat is the damn President!"
He peeled right out the driveway. My wife says thats why I don't get as much return business can't keep my mouth shut oh well!
