It has been awhile since I have been here and I am sorry. I started a new job and just haven't been able to get online here but this is important. I do not know these people but farmers should stick together.

A family farm near us had their poultry and goat/sheep barns burn down. They lost all of their chickens and poults plus the structures. Fortunately, they were able to save their goats and sheep but they had to tear a hole in the side of a burning barn and drag them out to do it. The insurance company says the structures were not insured when they thought they were.

Wow, that is so sad :hit :hit :hit :hit

Was it from a heat lamp? This seems to be all to common. I'm glad you posted this Jodie, so many people don't realize the huge risk.

I will be forwarding that to some other goat breeders I know and I am thinking of printing out some of these stories and send them with the other paper work I send off to my costumers.

I heard that another farm in SC lost their barn, fencing, and 17 Nigerian Dwarf goats in a barn flood. Everything was just GONE :hit

Thanks for letting us know. $100 donated as visitor #100. Glad there were no human casualties... that would have been horrific.

Thank you for letting us know. It gives us a chance to make a difference and to help someone - and isn't that the path to happiness?. That story could have just as easily pertained to one of us.
