Seriously. Today, somehow, my entire goat herd has been stolen, including Lucky goat. Sometime between 5pm and 7pm. Nobody here heard a sound, we were around the farm all day, front door was open, dog laying on the porch and all the goats are missing. No where to be found. The goats were laying on the burn pile at 5pm when the boys lit it on fire and when we went out to milk the cow and feed, the goats were gone. Not one single time in the 2 years I have had these goats have they ever been more than 150 yards from the barn. Lucky has never been not on the porch come dusk. Tonight, the barn lot is quiet and empty. 9 goats, all gone.

Wow. That's just wrong.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I am so sorry. I know that's not going to help get your goats back, but I am speechless. That is just wrong, who in the hell steals somebody's goats.
ReplyDelete((((MM))))
Noooo! That is horrible. Who on earth would steal all your goats? Could they just be off on an adventure? Is this happening to others where you live? Arrrgh...so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI hope they find their way home. I've just heard of cows, bees, and now goats disappearing in the last few weeks. Too many folks out of work. I wish you the best. dennis
ReplyDeleteHow in the hell was someone able to wrangle all 9 goats, load them on a truck and make off with them? They don't come when called like dogs do, right? And they just wander free, so this person walked all over your farm and leashed them one by one? That is outrageous! I would call the police, they may not actively go look for them but you never know who knows what and who will get a guilty concience.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure praying that there is some explination for this that you are just not seeing right now. I really don't want to believe that the world is coming to this.

500 goats would follow a bucket full of grain. They are very gentle and easy to get to follow you - and right into a trailer. Maybe something exploded in the burn pile and scared them off somewhere. I sure hope you find them close to home. Can't wait to hear from you today.
ReplyDeleteThey're gone. The sheriffs office will put out a notice for all the local auction houses. The goats were baited with feed out the side gate. I know this because my old roping horse was out there too. Good thing horses arent worth anything or I'd probably be missing a roping horse too. I'm done, this is the final straw. Stealing my Lucky goat from me is more than I can take.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry mm. This is just horrible. I have't had goats stolen but other livestock. Hope they are found
ReplyDeleteso sorry for your loss.hard times are no excuse for stealing livestock. I will keep you in prayer for their safe return.
ReplyDeleteThat's heartbreaking. I hope Lucky and the rest of the goats are found and returned and the a-holes that stole them are ... punished.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about local auctions also. Here in Texas goats are selling for a good price. We have a small herd of goats (about 25 nannies/babies). I would be heart broken! Nothing is sweeter than a nanny goat. I hope they find them and yes, as I said in a previous post, you can lead them anywhere with a bucket of feed. Good luck! Pat/Texas
ReplyDeleteAll gone?! How could anyone bring themselves to steal goats? As if you havent enough to think about already.
ReplyDeleteCrossing fingers and toes hoping they will turn up again soon!
What the crap? I hope they find them safe and sound.Will definitely keep you guys in our prayers!
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible! I hope they are found at an auction or somewhere else soon. I'm very sorry to read this, some people just SUCK!
ReplyDeleteThat's just horrible. It's just a thought, but I wonder if they are covered by your home owners' insurance.
ReplyDeleteI say string up the SOB's!! What an evil thing to do. Do you have any pics of the goats that you can give to the auctions? Also be sure and keep an eye on craigslist. They may try and sell them in groups or alone.
ReplyDeleteHang in there and keep a watchful eye, they may come back. I'd keep things loaded for a while. ;)

I am very sorry to hear of this Lady...hang in there
ReplyDeletePeople that would do something like this are SCUM!!! Just remember...what goes around comes around. They'll get theirs in the end!! I'm so sorry for your loss and will keep you and your missing goats in my prayers. Hang in there...
ReplyDeleteDamn. Just.... damn. There is a special place in hell for someone who would steal someone else's goats, and I'd like to help them along their way.
ReplyDeleteI drive by a house every day that has different goats all the time. They are there in the evening and gone the next morning. Sometimes there is a dog in the small pasture with them. I called the authorities but they did nothing. today there were more goats and a big fluffy white dog. It WILL be gone tomorrow along with the goats. I've seen dozens and dozens of dogs and goats go through this place in the last year. It bothers me a lot.
