You know, you step away from a thread for a couple hours and it just gets down right breezy.
(updated) Need some advice on the right thing to do here........

Maybe the system realized that we are all a bunch of old farts.

Loving the herd life
Oh my all this activity, I thought for sure that RED had talked with the controlling breeder and had posted a reply with what happened. But no, just a bunch of people talking about breaking wind.
My grand-mother, a country woman through and through would never say the dreaded "Fart" word, but instead, she would say she had to "break wind".
Really funny storey. I lived with her for almost 2 years, when I was 20 - 21. She was 92 - 93. Of course at 92, she sometimes could not control when she would "break wind". I never heard her laugh more than when she accidentally farted in front of me. It has been a long, time but thinking about her farting, made me laugh out loud.

Oh man you all crack me up!What everyone else said, I would just cut ties with her and wouldnt want to give her anymore of my money. People like that are too wearing to be around. 
sad. I didn't realize there was this level of issues with goats. I used to show my Labrador retriever as a girl and remember how nasty people could get about that. I just don't understand it at all.

I know!! Friendly competition is fun. To me, losing would just give me something to work for/strive towards. Winning all the time & not having any competition would actually get boring after a while, I think. Having a rival is the best!! As long as they're not off their rocker & going to sneak to your farm in the middle of the night & do something evil 
Or spread a bunch of middle school lies around like they're 12 years old.

I sent the following email to her this morning. Havent gotten a response yet. I'll see her at the show tomorrow, so we will see how it goes:
Deartest XXXX,
I am afraid that I not be able to help with prepping goats for the show this afternoon. I will be at the show tomorrow, so if you need an extra hand let me know, me or my sons would be happy to help out.
As far as XXXXXXX's buck, I'm sorry that you feel that way. I think that he would add some meatiness to my herd. If you'll remember, I purchased my doelings out right, and they are owned by me, free and clear of debt or contract, thus leaving me full responsibility and right to breed how I see fit. While I appreciate your input and advice, I will not refuse a breeding based on personal dislike of the owner. This is about improving my herd, something I am sure that you, as a show breeder, fully understand.
I do intend to use this buck for the second breeding of any and all does that I have next year. Out of respect for your wishes though, I have come up with another option. After speaking again with XXXXXX, he agreed that he would take a cash payment of $200 instead of one doeling. This would prevent him from having any of your bloodstock as his own. If this is the route that you would rather I take, I am willing to do so, but would need the full payment of 200$ from you two weeks before the scheduled drop off. (the does will stay at his place for a full 30 days with me providing feed and paying a small fee for board).
I will not be asking for his feeding recipe. I do not intend to show, and will not get involved in the politics thereof.
As for the lease contract on the horse. The first line reads as such "I, XXXX, agree to lease for the period of one year, one black draft gelding named Patton, to Angela Johnson in exchange for her work in my barn and in the training/evaluation of the other horses on this farm." This is the contract signed by you.
I also have a copy of my work/ride log. It shows that I have logged 150 hours of work, and only 6 hours of riding time. I also have copies of the vet records stating that he is not sound for riding. I have no record of attempting to provide me with another lease horse for riding purposes, thus rendering the contract null and void. If you'll check your records, you will see that you have the same information.
If you wish to pursue the breach of contract issue, please contact my lawyer at xxx-xxx-xxxx for any further information. I am sure that we can get him to clear up the definition of "breach of contract" for us.
I've kept a copy of your email to me and a copy of this email to you for future reference.
All that said, I'd like to put this behind us and pretend it never happened. I value the knowledge that you have imparted to me, and would eagerly learn more about goat husbandry from you, but I we need to keep the line drawn. There is no contractual agreement linking our different herds, I have full rights to breed to whom I see fit, and to register and sell the resulting kids to whom I see fit. If our business relationship is to continue, this must be respected.
As of right now, I will consider this matter resolved, and continue in my plans to breed to XXXXXX's buck.
I look forward to seeing you at the show tomorrow, and I wish you the best of luck. That hooded doe is a show-stopper, I cant wait to see her clipped and ready to strut her stuff!
