goat breeding plans

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Next week hopefully I'll be visiting back where I'm from to pick up a buck that comes from a Sungau sire. I will use him to breed my girls, and sell the babies in the spring. There's a fairly good market up here for goats...I took 4 up to the sale last month and got $50/each; and these are non-papered mixxed breeds. Babies too at that. If anyone has goats to sell in NE Kansas or, to be exact, in the Beatrice, NE area, on Sept.7 at 5:30 they are having an all-breeds special goat sale prior to the regular goat and sheep sale. Let me know if you need more info! (smile). Yeah; I know it definitely isn't a "get rich quick" plan, I barely break even at that, but the way I look at it--doing this keeps me in feed and enables one of my loves in life to be that much cost-effective!
