Weeelll.....

There is the common misconception that goats will eat tin cans..

Makes me want to call them and ask them to define rubbish.

Squeaky McMurdo · #4 07/01/13, 02:06 PM

Ok, benefit of the doubt, maybe 1) he got autocorrected or 2) the rubbish is bannana peels, apple cores, carrot tops...stuff you would usually throw out but a goat would happily eat. My girls are picky but my boys LOVE veggie scraps.

My first thought was by rubbish he meant kitchen trash, like Squeaky said above.

Or maybe he means he can't afford a good feed, so it's the "rubbish" cheapest feed?

I can't find the one I saw earlier today, but it was for a rabbit. The seller wrote that the rabbit had not been handled and was basically wild. They wanted to sell it to someone, perhaps a breeder. They needed to get their money back off the pet their kid never cared for.

SO many things wrong with the whole thing.

Buckling is worth $50 for cabrito this weekend.

He'll be worth nothing if he gets UC on that diet.

Craigslist always makes me chuckle, there is a bigerian dwarf for sale the next town over... Lol

Squeaky McMurdo · #10 07/02/13, 12:18 AM

Lol, yah. There are some interesting people on craigslist. Before the breeder of my boys found me on there I got several responses to my ad looking for a registered Nigerian Dwarf buckling from a CAE negative dam or one pulled at birth before mama even realized she had babies. The cream of the crop was the guy trying to sell me an unregistered Alpine buck instead that was "just too pretty to cut his nuts off" and that "he never heard of CAE so my goats obviously don't have it" and when I said no, "I'll trade him to you for one of your pregnant does"

Still doesn't beat the guy that walked up to my door wanting to breed his boer cross buck to my 2 month old Nigerian in exchange for all the doelings out of her. Took EVERY ounce of restraint I had to not laugh in his face or kick him to the curb (was there taking pictures of the outside for homeowner's insurance and saw my goats)

Is that what you have when you have a small goat and a cold?

There's an ad in my area as well for a free rooster - or trade for a laying hen.

Why would someone trade a laying hen for a rooster that would otherwise be free?

Maybe they used their "smart phone" to create the ad and it substituted 'rubbish' for roughage?

Perhaps. Lol mine has done some pretty epic autocorrects. Someone in town was selling the cutest little ducklings and I attempted to text my husband that "I need a duck, or two or three or ten!" My smart phone decided that duck wasn't what I really meant and my husband came home pretty excited for the kids to go to bed.

Taylor R. · #15 07/02/13, 03:39 PM

My auto-corrections are nearly always dirty. No idea why it always comes out that way. I've learned to be VERY careful if I am posting somewhere public from my phone or texting my grandma.

Maybe the poor feller was just enjoyin' an little afternoon nip...Might have been a bit warm there and he stopped down at the Tip-Top-Tap for a little frosty beverage.

Y'all get the picture, he sitting there discussin' the nature of the universe, and the talk turns to diminutive goats. If you listen close you can hear him: "My dwarf is bigeran your dwarf."

My texts come out ok as long as I am typing them. Not so when I am using the talk to text feature. My phone just doesn't speak hillbilly. I MEANT to message my husband telling him that I'd be heading his way after a workman had left the farm.
I recieved a text back asking who the sexy guy was?
Sexy guy?
Sexy guy?
Oh!
SEPTIC guy.

My phone wants me to sound smarter. Changes "Okay" to "Plato".
