<< I went to an auction and there were exposed nigis going for 25 dollars. I am lucky I didn't come home with more!

lol....welcome to goat math and potato chips

 

[babsbag]

$25...that is crazy. Exposed as in possibly bred? Yes goat math at its finest.

That is crazy! Just be careful at auctions... There's probably a reason they're that cheap. There's a lot of untested goats at auctions.

Yessum. She is in quarantine right now. @Goat Whisperer warned me about auctions, but at those prices, I couldn't let it go. If she dies or had to be put down, it was only 25.

Goats never go for that cheap at this auction, and everything there was ridiculously priced. I bought a table saw for 3 dollars. 30 flowering plants for 10 bucks. I think it was because of Christmas coming up. It was insane. We usually just go to this thing because the people who run it are hilarious. At most we get a plant to two. We did get a pet bunny once... but yeah. I went home with a van full of stuff- and a goat in a Rubbermaid tote. Then we almost hit a deer, and poor clover and I caught air in the trunk.
