State champion goat failed drug test

Pueblo, Colorado – Colorado officials have disqualified the grand champion goat from this year’s State Fair because they say it tested positive for an unapproved drug. The Pueblo Chieftain reported that a second goat entered by another child from the same family also was disqualified for the same drug. Susan Weinroth of Sedalia says the family got a letter from the attorney general’s office saying her family’s goats tested positive for a feed additive approved for swine but not goats. She suspects the food may have been tampered with and says the family reported their suspicions to officials.  more
