With
regards to Fall Creek MAV Natasha ..
I received many inquires about Natasha when the blog was posted. This information sums up those communications.
Did I buy Natasha directly from her farm of origin? Yes.
Did I contact the breeder about Natasha’s status? Yes.
How old was Natasha when she was sold to me? Natasha was a little over
2 yrs old when I bought her.
How long was Natasha living at my farm? 5 months. We decided to complete our annual testing in the fall and she tested positive.
Had Natasha ever been tested for Johne’s prior to when I tested
her? No. She was never tested.
Jackie, Isn't it odd that you purchased Natasha as a two year old from Lois who claims to test annally for CAE and Johnnes yet she never was tested. Makes you wonder what else on her site is a big fat lie.
ReplyDeleteLori, most of her website is total fabrication. She is a bitter, jealous egotistical person who delights in tearing others down. She is a sick woman....honestly I think its all coming back to bite her in the tail. An attorney told me once she had enough up there on her site where I could successfully sue her and prevail, but I have better things to do in my life. She is reaping what she has sewn, whether its not testing goats or Spanish mastiffs, she has become a total mockery.
DeleteLet me tell you she lies through her teeth about her Spanish Mastiffs. She tests none of them for HD yet claims they are all sound. I truly truly feel nothing but pity for the dogs and goats owned by this sick woman. She is a chronic liar. She does not care about her stock or her dogs. She is a rip off artist. Hopefully between this blog and another, what she is doing is now exposed and she'll begin to reap what she has sown. Her farm foreclosed on and she was booted off of it! Everyone in the goat world needs to know about this flake....her kennel had Leptovirus go through it and I think some of her dogs still have it. Lepto is not something that just goes away over night! Now, this. Think of how many goat people started with her foundation stock, now.....who knows what else has a disease out there?
ReplyDeleteThe blood test for Johnes is not considered very accurate. The best way to test is to culture the feces, something people rarely do unless there are signs of disease. So I wouldn't automatically assume that the breeder lied to you. Also, I would think that 5 mos is plenty of time for the animal to have contracted the disease at the new farm.
ReplyDeleteActually to have it as far progressed (to the point where she was getting such high levels on the blood test) it was very unlikely Natasha just "came down" with the disease.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that all animals on the new farm have tested negative x2 both blood and fecal tests its very unlikely Natasha just randomly picked it up and progressed that rapidly in 5 months from her new farm.
I am not accusing anyone here, I am bringing forth the facts and letting everyone draw their own conclusions.
