Selling DUe to Health

Regretfully, I need to sell some goats. The aftereffects of my stroke make it very difficult for me to care for them properly. I have 4 very nice, full-size, purebred, ADGA-registered LaMancha does and one nice, standard-size PB, ADGA-registered LaMancha buckling. The does are currently in milk, and a couple will be in milk shortly.If interested, please PM me, and I'll give you my phone number. Located in South Central Missouri.

Thank you!

Loretta

P.S> I am keeping the minis.

I wish I could afford to get them. I would love to have them

I guess I will just have to wait for mine from Emily to grow up and multiply lol

I hope you find a nice home for them.

Huggs,

Oh, Loretta, I am sorry to see this. I wish I had room and time for some of your beautiful girls. Unfortunately, we need to reduce our herd as well and I know my husband and daughter would both have a fit if I bought any more goats, no matter how nice!

(((hugs)))

I am so glad you are keeping the Minis! Whew! I am sad that your beauties have to go but sometimes you have to make some hard adjustments when life throws you for a loop.
((((hugs)))) I'm sure this was a very hard decision for you. There is a thread in the horse forum right now talking about how life changes for us and what used to be perfect for us just doesn't work anymore

I am so sorry to hear this Nehi. Wish we could figure out away to buy another milker.

I'm sorry you are having to down size. A lot of people are having to keep smaller herds whether for heath, economic, or time reasons. You do what you have to do.

I was hoping to see a post from you to know how you were doing. I'm sorry that this choice has come to you but I'm sure that you made it for the good of both you and your goats.
I went through a bout of illness too and definitely had to simplify my life so I could keep going. It was to the good although hard at the time.
Many wishes for healing coming your way.

Is there any chance that anyone from that area is headed to Florida any time soon? I would LOVE to get one from you, but it's too far for me to drive since there isn't anyone to look after the farm while I would be gone.
