Polish goat. duh. 
I like that they have blue eyed 'pygmies'. blegh. And that they were all 'breed' to a 'blue eyed billy'.

I took "dustin's" last name out...he signed his name...I love the things you see on Craigslist...like the boer, boar, bore spellings of goats. I, too, have never heard of "shooter" sheep and have owned different breeds of sheep over the years.

What is a savanna??
*scratches my head* I can usually decipher these CL ads, but... Savanna? Perhaps it's a Saanen? Other than that... I'm just totally lost.

I think there is a "Savanna" breed of sheep or goat, but the run-on sentence without any punctuation just makes my head ache.

Maybe a shooter is one you are going to shoot and eat.

We wonder WHY people posting free ads seem to think they will be paying by the word...
It doesn't really require that much more work to actually type in all the particulars.
I also HATE 'serious inquiries only' and no price....
As to spelling,punctuation and the rest,well....that is just a sign of the education system in this country.

I run out of breath and feel like I'm going to pass out when there is no punctuation. I stop reading.

I've seen Savanna goats advertised on the Huntsville CL in the past. I'm intrigued but not enough to get out of Nubians for them.

I graduated from a super crappy little high school in Utah (which is about 3 years BEHIND the schools in Cali), and I can spell. I also understand punctuation. I think it has more to do with people just not caring.

Maybe people who raise these "Savanna" goats are destined to have the spelling abilities of a 3-year-old. Why else would they spell the breed NAME without an H on the end? That would drive me crazy enough to never want to raise them!
