Well he decide to hire so this guy he hired seemed nice in ever thing my dads repair shop is right next to my barn in goats pasture in pens well I was out feeding my goats he came over in talked to me about my goats I didnt mind the questions well the next day I was out trimming feet in cleaning out stalls when he came up to in said he bought two boer nannies which were due to kid next week I asked why the hell you buy goats when you live in town he said he asked my dad in said he was with him keeping them here I told him nicely that be was not goin to keep him in my barn in pasture at the time I only had a eough room for the kids due next spring so he asked if he could bring a dog run out for them in put it by the barn in put a large dog house on the back for them I told him that was fine but he had to buy his own food, hay, minerals, buckets, in kidding supplies and then a hour later a pick-up pulls up with the two very pregnant does hog tied in the back I almost cried when I saw them let me remained you he only paid 25 dollars each for these boer bred does which i know good bred boers

Opinion

Sry for my spelling im just so mad in love these girls

Goat-lover, So sorry, sounds like a bad situation all around. I'm no lawyer, but I don't think you will win this battle. If you are in a position to buy the goats, I would try to do that. Or just show up at the sale barn and maybe you can get a good price on them there. I know it is very hard to give up animals you are attached to. The good thing is at least you know he plans to sell them rather than keep them and give them a horrible life- hopefully they will get good homes once they get through the stress of the sale barn.

Sounds like an terrible situation.
I think you most likely could make the argument in court. The issue with the 30 days on your property rule is the fact they were there under an agreement.
The fact you did feed them and paid all these extra expenses helps your case.

Even if you did win them I could see someone like him getting "revenge".

That what my dad said the only one keeping it goin is his girlfriend in her mom

Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on. It is hard, but fighting this creep over them is not worth the cost, time and trouble. Let them go and never let anyone use you like this again.

Somebody oughta write a song about that!

I'd be making out a bill for all the expenses that you put into their care. Every hoof trim deserves a fee, everything deserves a fee. When he arrives for the does serve him with the bill. Tell him he can either pay you in cash, pay you with the goats or you will see him in court. He made an arrangement with you and he failed to fulfill his end.
