This weekend I took my wife to the Waupaca County Fair. I have been out of showing since 2006. So this is my second time going back to a fair that I really do not belong at. I walked into the poultry barn… a place that I loved. I thought I went to see friends. For the most part I did, until I saw Gary again. I get accused of selling a crappy bird to a girl. I did not. She had asked me for help with showing. I had told her that she wouldn’t do very well with a crossbred bird. She still took it to the fair anyway. After the duck was judged she told me that she wished I had told her to take one of her pure bred birds. I didn’t know that she had purebred birds. I thought that telling her that a crossbred birds wouldnt do well was insinuating that she should take a purebred bird if she had one.
While I was on my cell phone taking a call, Gary told my wife that I didn’t know anything. I realize that I dont know much. I realize that I have a lot to learn. But I also realize that I do know quite a bit about poultry. I know enough to be able to teach kids alot about birds.
He said that all I care about was money. He said that all I see when I look at a chicken is money.
I am so passionate about poultry that I want it to be my career. I want to be able to spend every day all day working with poultry. I want to be able to help other people with their poultry passions.
I started Purely Poultry because I know that I can serve my customers well. I can combine a great offering of breeds at great prices. I see the opportunity to help people with their passions. I look forward to serving you in any way that I can!
Please pray that I be able to overcome this criticism stronger for tomorrow.
