Well the DRAMA is real today

Yesterday my post hit a major nerve with the owner of the photos..

I intentionally blocked everything out not thinking their identity would be revealed ... Bc the post wasn't directed to them, it was used as an example to start educating and sharing ...

But now that she has come to my page, harassed my commenters, and posted a false review

I'm here to discuss that experience directly with Sara Murton Bryan from Bryan Family Farms in GA

Personally have never had dealings with the woman, I am familiar with who she is because of my own personal experience at the auction..

Last year in August myself and a friend went to the auction to buy the babies that I've now posted on the post.... And of course everybody at the auction talks... Everybody knows everybody in this industry.. so I had multiple people come up and tell me that she buys everything and I'll have to put bid her ...

Well I did ... But when you're told that somebody buys everything it peaks your curiosity so ...my friend went digging and found her ..

Every baby we watched her by that day were listed within 72 hours... And by this time I had already been in this game for several years now so I knew what I was looking at.

Did I share it, no, did I blast her, no, did I go and write a false review on her page, no.

But when I saw an opportunity with the perfect post and photos that shows a health guarantee and it shows all the babies that she has, 70 to be exact, I thought that that picture was a perfect opportunity to educate our community on a very huge problem in the livestock industry... I wasn't looking to use her photo specifically it literally was random.. I wasn't after her directly or her Farm which is why I didn't name them...

Well I'm paying for it y'all...

Now she's going to sue me for deformation..
She has spent endless hours harassing me and my commenters..
She called herself out, called her Farm out and feels the need to AKA defend herself... When nobody called her out but herself...

And she says that I'm spreading false information.. but this beautiful soul of a human went to our page and posted a false review on our business... And made statement after statement that I was spewing lies and spreading false information....

Nothing on my post was false ... Nothing ....

I have apologized to her, I offered to edit the post as looking back I can see where she could potentially feel directly attacked although that was not the intentions and I expressed it... Clearly

But we have gotten nowhere..... So she's going to sue me and now I'm here to share my experience with her directly as a right to human freedom of speech

I don't know maybe her explosive reaction speaks volumes on her operations to me... And anyone else reading ...

I did comment on her post that "since we know all these are auction babies do you do testing" and maybe the word ALL was the improper terms... 100% I can take fault in that they might not all be auction babies I'm sure she does do some breeding.... (Also stated in my post)

Instead of her publicly correcting me on her page for her clientele and her customers to see as a honest and transparent operator...

What did she do...
She blocked it and then she blocked me and then she came to my page and harassed my commenters as well as myself and made a false review...

I didn't go after her business I didn't harm her business I didn't call her business out but she 100% affected our business with her false review..

I guess we're going to be waiting for lawyer papers in the mail y'all...

Happy dramatic Tuesday....

EDITED PSOT - THESE ARE NOW MY PHOTOS....

ALL THREE BABIES I BOUGHT FROM AUCTION

ALL THREE BABIES WERE TESTED AND HELD FOR OVER 60 DAYS AND THEN REHOMED HEALTHY AND TRANSPARENTLY

🔥 So... I'm back.

And TODAY is the day I begin my mission to educate.

I will share Bama's story in time because it is tied to this lesson in more ways than y'all realize...

But not today.

Today, let's talk auctions.

Again.

I came across this post this morning. I'm familiar with the farm. I'm familiar with the humans. Through the auctions, I've seen it with my own eyes.

And listen... she sells babies like CRAZY.

Loads of them.

Turns a huge profit.

Honestly, that's something most of us would love to do.

So I asked a simple question.

"Since these are all auction babies, do you happen to test for BOV, BVD, Johne's, or Freemartins?"

That's it.

No accusations.

No attack.

No drama.

Just a question.

And they many very well not ALL be auction babies ... But guaranteed some of them are ...

So what do y'all think happened?

🚫 BLOCKED.

Within minutes.

Gone.

Now why did she block me?

Valid question.

Who knows.

Who cares.

Because that's not actually the point.

The point is this.

Auctions are a TOOL.

And like any tool, they can be used responsibly... or irresponsibly.

When people use auctions as a never-ending source of inventory without proper testing, transparency, or accountability...

Who takes the hit?

YOU.

The buyer.

How many of y'all would see a post like this, see the huge following, see all the cute babies, and immediately send a deposit?

How many would ask where they came from?

How many would ask what they've been tested for?

How many would ask if the seller actually knows their history?

Now let's talk about two other things advertised...

✅ 30-Day Health Guarantee

✅ Mentorship Program Included

Sounds great, right?

But let's actually talk about it.

Why do so many auction babies come with a 30-day health guarantee?

Because many of them are sold FAST.

Sometimes before they've had time to show what they picked up.

Sometimes while they're already carrying it.

One of the most common things we see?

Scours.

Do y'all know what scours is?

It's diarrhea in a calf.

And it can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, stress, poor nutrition, transport stress, auction exposure, or simply being shuffled from place to place to place.

Auction.

Transport.

Holding pens.

Transport again.

New farm.

New feed.

New people.

New environment.

That's a LOT for a baby.

And scours can turn deadly FAST if it isn't recognized and treated.

So if there's a true 30-day health guarantee...

Why not do true health testing?

If there's a true mentorship program...

Why not disclose that the animals came from auction?

Why not educate buyers that not every auction animal should become breeding stock?

These are the conversations buyers deserve to have BEFORE they spend thousands of dollars.

Again...

I don't hate auctions.

Auctions are a GREAT tool.

I've bought from auctions myself.

I'll likely buy from auctions again.

But if we're going to build businesses around auction animals, let's do it right by BOTH the animal and the buyer.

Buy the calf.

Bring it home.

Quarantine it.

Test it.

Observe it.

Hold it for 30 days.

Get through the scours.

Get through the respiratory issues.

Get through the unknowns.

Let the animal prove it's healthy in YOUR care before passing that risk onto someone else.

That's how you protect your buyers.

That's how you protect the animals.

And that's how you build trust that lasts longer than a Facebook sale.

The scary part isn't getting blocked.

The scary part is how many buyers never ask the questions.

And that's exactly why I'm going to keep talking about it.

Not because I hate auctions.

Not because I'm jealous of anyone's success.

But because buyers deserve education before they spend thousands of dollars on an animal they know absolutely nothing about.

Ask questions.

Demand answers.

And if asking basic health questions gets you blocked...

Well...

Maybe that answer tells you everything you needed to know. 👀

Happy Sunday!

As we try get back to a little normalcy around here we're looking at our projects and don't quite know where to begin ....

So.. best start is ... One project at a time!

We need some help building very similar car port sheds ... 10x20's they all are

Looking to hire someone to build and modify carports very similar to theses while adding hurricane tie downs as well ...

Would like to get started ASAP... Ideally someone who can be available to start and finish .. will take weekend work but not our first choice as time is of the essence always

We have the carports and need help on what else to buy to secure and complete!!!

But WE'RE READY!

Please PM your pricing and availability!

Thank you!

I want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out, commented, sent their prayers and condolences...

Bama has touched so many... He left his mark on so many hearts 🫶

I'm still tucked away hiding, I'm sorry, I assure I'll get back to you all when I stop choking on words ... Or visuals of the pasture....

But ...

I also want to come out of hiding long enough to share the blessing of today ... I've said it so many times and I'm going to say it again ..

When he takes one, he often gives one....

Today.... Snowglobe had her baby ... Unassisted... Quietly and privately .... And for a first time heifer, she's done amazing!!!

And she was up and moving immediately... I won't assess her movement until down the road

For now ..we celebrate the little heifer we have been gifted after such a massive loss ♥️

Welcome home little lady

🚨 🚨 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 🚨 🚨

With an incredibly heavy heart, I need to share that 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 before our summer closure.

I know I previously shared that we would remain open through the week of the 15th, but circumstances have changed.

It is with profound sadness that I share that 𝐁𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐔𝐒.

I am not ready to fully share what happened, but in time I will. When I do, I hope it can serve as a lesson in education and understanding for us all.

For now, I simply ask for privacy as I process a loss that has completely shattered my heart.

Those who have followed our journey or visited our farm know that Bama wasn't just an animal here.

𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌.

He was my best friend, my shadow, my comfort, my rock, and my best boy.

I know so many of you loved him too, and I am truly sorry for the hurt and heartbreak this news will bring.

I know this decision may feel abrupt, and perhaps even selfish. Please know it was not made lightly. Right now, I do not feel capable of showing up for our children, answering the questions that will come, or providing the emotional stability and safe space they deserve while navigating the depth of grief I am experiencing.

𝐈 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄.

The reality is that this loss has affected more than just me. My family is hurting. Our farm is hurting. Even the herd is struggling with this change.

Because of that, I need to step away sooner than planned and focus on healing, caring for my family, and supporting the animals who remain in my care.

To every family who has trusted us with your children, supported our mission, loved our animals, and loved Bama alongside me—thank you.

I am deeply sorry for the sudden change in plans.

Full moon weeks can reek havoc on farm life

I woke up this morning to quickly realize that so can the full moon after math days

But ... When I tell you every stormy day has a rainbow ..

Today was no different

We woke up with 13 rescues pups

I sit here writing this with just 3 left ...

Our community showed up and they are all in foster homes at the moment! Talk about a win! Not just for the farm but for the families and kids too!

One child requested a foster as a trial run
One family expects to be a foster fail
One family already agrees to adopt
And the rest ...are simply signed up to enjoy and return the most spoiled and loved pups ever

And it all started with one momma who said "can I foster" ....forever grateful!

How can that NOT be a rainbow after a stormy morning

♥️🤍♥️ Thank you for our incredible community!

Ultimate herd separation when you're on baby watch ....

🙄 These are the moments you look at your options and PREPARE

Keep watching and waiting and hope she's just taking cover from the heat ...

Move her and risk interrupting or stressing her while she could be going into to labor .. ultimately possibly stalling her in what is her first calving
.... Watch and wait it is for me

Why ....

Bc I'll cut the damn structure down if I have to ... As long as she is comfortable 💜
