Initial Complaint
11/07/2022
- Complaint Type:
- Product Issues
- Status:
- Unresolved
I went to the Lekey Auction on 11/5. There were sick animals present at the sale. I purchased a very sick baby heifer. The people around me at the sale stated it was dehydrated and had scours. I did not see a veterinarian on site at any time. If there would have been one, the veterinarian would have forbidden the sale of many of the animals on site for health concerns. The calf I purchased died within an hour of getting home. The workers at the sale had to carry the baby to my truck because it was too weak to walk. I asked for a refund after the baby died. The owner, ******, called me on the phone and tried to intimidate me. I called the Missouri Department of Agriculture Animal Health Division and reported my concerns about the livestock operation for violations of animal health and no vetanarian on site. My desired resolution is a refund of my money $125 for the sick calf and have the Missouri Department of Animal Health do a complete investigation of this livestock facility.Business response
