    I’m not sure what the point of counter-suing is. Just to get a tiny amount of money back? I guarantee they’ve wasted more resources on things far more frivolous.

    And I feel like I’m the only one siding with the Fair. Family entered into a contract to auction the goat. You can’t just back out of the contract after the goat was auctioned off.

    Someone else here said the winning bidder said they could keep the goat. If true, I’m not really sure why anyone went to court. The guy who won it should be able to do what he wants with it. Including letting the family keep it.

    But I’m not privy to the terms of the contract and articles like this are usually biased one way or the other.

      People break contracts all the time. That’s fine. The contract will have had a clause detailing what happens during the break. I’m sure it isn’t explicitly to kill a goat.
