I have been preaching this for a some time now! When your goat kids, your not just selling the kids your goat or other live stock gave birth too. There's SO much behind the scenes that go into the price factor. Especially when your doe is pregnant during winter months, theres no foraging, your spending almost triple on feed to get her thru. Plus if you're like us we're on well water that has high arsenic, which means I'm BUYING water weekly if not daily for them to have. Farming and having livestock is a full time job, that takes a lot of time and money to run functionally. So no, I won't be selling my kids for $75.

Please don’t offer a lower price when purchasing goats from breeders. A lot of thought and effort go into pricing and a lot of time and effort go into raising goats.

PS: I am only charging $100 for wethers right now 🤪
