hi ...Those are words to live by, Carolyn.. ha! :-)<br /><br />hi Allie! nope its a good question and the answer is.... it depends. if goats are registered they sell for sometimes twice as a "stock" or pet quality goat. ours are not registered for a lot of reasons. the other factor is where you live. one friend sells her bucklings for twice what we can get b/c she lives in a not-really-farming community. we have bucklings for a dime a dozen out here...and as always the ladies always sell for much more as milkers-in-training. the best way to tell is to check your local Farm/Garden section of Craigslist - you can get a good idea of the price range. <br />ps you aren't creepy ;-)<br /><br />Life is too short for a goat with a bad attitude, Traci, that Libby is going to be someone's best friend - she doesnt have to be yours. :-D<br /><br />Nancy, its him wiping the tears with the money that kills me everytime! ha!<br /><br />Thanks Mark! I think some folks try to over think it but you just have to be practical. And really - it makes it so much better when you have good buyers.

Casper the Friendly Goat is going to be barbeque this fall. Pippi Longstocking and Harelquin are definitely staying - even if we get rid of their mamas - gotta love moonspots! Light Brown Sugar aka Libby is one I could definitely part with - that little goat has bad attitude.Traci Sumnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871204933123385197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-22898006697894993582013-05-03T11:31:04.080-04:002013-05-03T11:31:04.080-04:00I'm very curious about how much a baby goat se...I'm very curious about how much a baby goat sells for.Is that too personal of a question?

I feel pretty lucky, they were all boys and I'm always afraid I'll have a hard time finding buyers for them. Although that does mean we're short a few goat-rib dinners. Better a roping goat than wrapped in freezer paper!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.com
