BA CSF Catallac takes a first and a second place in Zanesville Ohio's springtime show in a very competitive class!!
Sold to Skip Bowen of Maple Crest Farm at the 2012 True Colors Sale
Dear Chad and Patrick:
As a child I would attend the Pa. Farm Show with my family and friends and often thought how wonderful it would be to live on a farm and have animals that I could take to the show and experience the thrill of the event from the inside ?not just as a spectator. With a family of seven to provide for and educate my dad didn't encourage me to pursue an agriculture endeavor as he felt he wouldn't be able to help me get started. In case you haven't noticed farming is expensive. (-: So my life took a different track, but in the back of my mind was always the notion of farming and each year the dream of being at the Farm Show was stirred afresh in me.
Over time my wife and I were blessed with the ability to buy a farm that had been in her family and I began to learn the ins and outs of the business. We haven't made a lot of money at it, but we are rich in ways that can't be measured in dollars and cents. We tried various farming ventures but nothing seems to fit as well with us as the Boer Goats. We've had them for about 8 years now but it wasn't until we purchased BA CSF Catallac from you at the 2012 True Colors Sale that we had anything worthy to show at the Farm Show. He is a truly wonderful little buck and it was a pleasure to have him there this week in the midst of some very tough competition. What a wonderful time I had. So friends, I guess what I'm trying to say is ?you didn't just sell me a quality animal, you sold me the chance to realize a lifelong dream.
Joy to You!

Well, most
of you know that I drove to WV this weekend to get our new buck from Chad
and Patrick. I have to say... these men are everything you see on the groups
and more... they are warm, friendly, generous, funny... just absolutely wonderful
people. Their farm is gorgeous... perfect goat land with beautiful animals...
and the buck I got... CSF Redrum... we couldn't be more pleased.
Now, just to give you a sense of how these guys operate... All along they
have known what I was looking for and why... there has always been at least
two options for me to choose from with the final decision to come after in
person, hands-on inspection.. . when two of the original three choices didn't
meet my primary criteria, Chad and Patrick actually offered to let me choose
one of their favorite bucks that they were using right then for breeding and
hadn't really wanted to sell (but I'd initially expressed interest in his
brother who is being sold elsewhere).. . I thought that was the most amazing
thing to do... Redrum still beat out everyone with regards to the priorities
I went there with and we are tickled pink with him. I'm planning to get a
good picture of him by next weekend... right now he looks a little scruffy
from travel and dried delicer on his back... but you all can see a picture
of him on Chad's website For Sale page (even though that picture doesn't do
him justice because it was taken at least six weeks ago).
