Just so you're not surprised, the word "sale" is at the bottom of this
announcement. The college probably wants to at least get the price
they'd get from the slaughterhouse.

I’m forwarding this from another list serve.— don’t ask me any

Forwarding this message from another listserv:
We found out today that Marist College is pulling out all funding from
the farm and has scheduled a slaughterhouse to pick up all of the
animals on Tuesday.
This was scheduled a month ago, without any notice to any of the
farmers or management, and they notified us today, giving us only
three days for alternate plans. This has come as an egregious
surprise to us all, so I am scrambling to try to find good homes for
these wonderful animals before they are picked up for slaughter on
Tuesday.
They include:
(3) pregnant Does, due to kid shortly
(10) 2 yr old Does, who have kidded but have been dried off
(22) Yearlings
(85) Kids, unweaned
(10) Cows in milk (Jersey and milking Shorthorn)
(1) pregnant Cow, due in two weeks
(6) dry Cows
(2) Heifers
(3) Steer Calves
(2) Calves, unweaned (1 male/1female)
& (103) laying Hens
We are all extremely confused by their actions, and I am hoping you
can help get the word out, that these animals are available for
sale/pickup this weekend and Monday.
Please let me know if there is any additional information you need. I
have more specific information for anyone interested, but wanted to
get this to you ASAP before the end of the day. You can use my name,
number, and julianachristinemiller@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:julianachristinemiller@xxxxxxxxx> as the contact. Thank you
in advance for your help!
