Sweet irony.
I knew it would only be a matter of time before local socialist parasite Clayton Tucker had to face more adversity over at his make-believe goat-photo ‘ranch.’
First it was all his babies being eaten by the dreaded Texas VultureBuzzard (TM) last year.
Now he has a new problem: parasites. This is very fitting, because Clayton Tucker HIMSELF is a parasite upon humanity, his parents and a free-market capitalist society. So to see him get hosed by parasites is truly poetic justice.
The Brilliant Goat Professor informed all his followers that “it turns out that parasites are not great for goats,”
You would think a “fifth-generation rancher” would not be taken by surprise by ANY of this shit. But you’d be wrong.
What is Comrade Clayton’s solution to his parasite problem? Is it to rotate pasture more often so the goats don’t eat the grass down too far towards the soil? Or perhaps take fecal samples every month so you are on top of any outbreaks?
Nah, fuck all that. Too much work. That cuts into his Twitter and protesting time in Austin.
What Comrade Clayton does is just leave all the old diseased carcasses out in the field for the VultureBuzzards (TM) to pick over and then ask mom to buy him some more goats.
I can just picture it:
“Mom, I need better goats this time! Tougher ones that don’t get parasites! These ones all died.”
So a guy like me with a brain immediately thinks: “I’ve never heard of Savanna goats. I’ve driven by dozens of places around here with tons of goats and they are all Boer or Spanish. So if this breed is SO AWESOME and super resistant to parasites, why doesn’t EVERYONE raise these goats?”
But Comrade Clayton doesn’t have a logical brain. He has the brain of a 12-year-old girl, as I have established many times. So he thrashes about from one problem to the next without thinking two or three steps down the road.
Kind of like how the idiot communist Chinese killed every sparrow they could find in 1958 so they would stop eating the crops but then when the birds were all gone, the insect population exploded and ate all their crops anyways. Then 45 million of them starved to death. THAT is how Comrade Clayton thinks.
So naturally, the FIRST thing I do is Google “disadvantages of Savanna goats.” Turns out, there are several…which Comrade Clayton will eventually discover towards the end of this year, probably.
They need a LOT more room to graze. They grow a lot slower (cost more to feed). More prone to foot rot and joint problems. They can be VERY aggressive towards humans. I’m pretty sure they cost a LOT more to purchase initially – I just sent an inquiry to a REAL goat producer to ask how much they cost. So we’ll know soon enough.
Oh, and their meat “has a distinct flavor profile.” LOL. I think that’s a nice way of saying maybe they taste like shit.
That last part about taste doesn’t really matter, I guess. Because very few of Comrade Clayton’s goats will manage to stay alive under his care long enough to be sold as meat. He just likes taking pictures of them for all the Dumb Old Liberal Ladies (DOLLs) on Facebook to fawn over.
However, I DO look forward to him being attacked by an angry Billy in the near future.
