Blown teat on doe in need of rescue?--UPDATE--

The guy was probably hoping you're a big softie and when you heard the word "butcher" you would start throwing money at him. Stick to your guns, there are worse things to happen to an animal than to be humanely slaughtered and with that money you could help an awful lot of other unfortunate goats. Don't let this yahoo guilt you when it's him that is being a terrible person letting these animals suffer.

Most likely he was just being an arse. If he was willing to take $200, then $200 is $200 is $200......and it is easier to have the person in front of you take the animal, rather than load them up and take them yourself for the same amount of money. If they are being butchered for yourself then of course you pay so he would be out even more money. If he was offended at the low price, he could (A) politely decline,(B) fix the animals up and offer them for the same price in excellent condition or (C) the smart thing to do.....consider the offer and the reasoning behind it in realistic terms. Most likely he isn't smart enough to do any of them though....

crossing my fingers for ya...

I would be willing to bet he would never butcher these goats. He is just saying that and hoping that you will feel bad for them and pay more for them. Once he realizes that no one else out there will pay that kind of money for these goats he will come back to you. Don't worry...
