Butler's Farrier Service

09/30/2026

Hi everyone, I have a client with a need. I know so many of you are amazing people with great hearts and love your goats. The loss of a spouse has left my client with too much to handle at this time. I’m looking to help her find good homes for 10 does-(mostly mini lamancha) and 13 bucks , some intact and some not(mini lamancha). They only ask that they can get pictures periodically to help the children adjust to life without them, as this is hard for them. I will ask a small re-homing fee that will go straight to the family to help with expenses as they navigate this nightmare. I will also offer my services to neuter the males, initial hoof trims, and help assist in the transition as I can. If any of you feel that you can offer sanctuary to any of these goats please pm me. They are located on the Ma/Ct line.

$4.89 for unleaded gas this morning 😞 please keep that in mind folks…this isn’t sustainable at these costs

After much consideration as well as a change in family life which requires me to be closer to home, I will unfortunately have to bring my range of travel in. I currently service areas in a 2.5 hr radius, this is no longer cost effective for me even without the new family dynamics. My range of travel will change effective Jan 1, 2027 to reflect a 1hr 15 min and under radius of my location in Canaan, Ny. I do apologize for this inconvenience for all of my clients that are are outside of this range, and I appreciate your support to this point . If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Hi everyone! As we all are seeing, gas prices have greatly increased. Almost double what they were. It’s current 4.49 a gallon local to me. If you can add a few more dollars towards gas it would be much appreciated. I will not increase my rates for the stop fee as of right now but I will take any extra with much appreciation.

Hi Everyone! If you are schedule for April 21st and your animals CAN wait a couple more weeks can you please pm me and let me know? I have 12 stops on for that day and I just physically cannot manage that many in a day. So this trip needs split into two. Next trip out would be May 18. Let me know! Thankyou!
