Please be sure to stop in and say thank you to these many folks and let them know how much they are appreciated. Mr. Billy Dodgen, Pickens, SC, deserves special recognition. He donated a registered Full blood Boer Buck for a door prize. This money will be used to award prizes to the children at the State Show. Congratulations go to Ms. Sally McGuire from Belton, SC, for purchasing the winning ticket.
Plans are already in the works for next year.
Many folks are not aware of the number of confirmed cases of Rabies in South Carolina. Goat rabies is very rarely diagnosed, but goats are about as susceptible as dogs and cattle. Keep them away and rabies won't be a problem. Opossums are not significant carriers of rabies, neither are squirrels and rats or mice. There is no treatment and no cure, and the infection is uniformly fatal.
