I do not know what a garden flag is. Can you explain or send me a link to one?

I am sure we can make ones with what ever ears you want. Just going to have to do some playing with the patterns. I will let yall know once I find out shipping and all that give me a couple weeks since this weekend is going to be crazy with early father day stuff.

If I were going to make these, offer them in black and white. The black ones are great for the shadows and yard decorations, but if you paint them white people could make signs out of them. I can see you using a white adult doe one to advertise your goat farm at the end of the driveway or using a large rooster one to advertise eggs for sale.

Make an Etsy shop so people can look at all the different designs, sizes, etc.

Oooo, the Etsy shop is a great idea!! Somewhere in the $50 range is probably about right, I'de say. If there's a flea market in your area they should sell like crazy. I'de love to have them out near the gate, and one (prefer no ears please) for the mail box.

I think only the first has true nubian ears my babylings ears are too long to fly like the second one. So love these I would see how much a vendor booth at local fairs are I know you dont drive but I would bet you could make a mint.

I think they're adorable and I would think they could be pretty good sellers at flea markets, fairs, and goat shows. I'd even try Craigslist.

Maybe right click on pic, hit save picture as, and save on your computer. Then to do an email, click add attachment, and find it on your computer and add to email.

I think they are just too adorable!!!
Dont forget the nigies too.

You make a sign with an arrow that says "ears go here"

Seriously, I want some! A family to go along my fenceline and maybe a medium size doe (12" high?) and a doeling (6" high) to go on top of my new farm sign. I think you've hit a winning plan!

I agree with the price of $50 for the set of kids and $25 for the mom. The mom needs longer ears though
My awesome long eared Nubians like it when I make them fly, can't do that with Earless Wonders lol

The middle kid already looks kind of Nigerian so maybe you can use or go off that to make Nigie kids/adults.

Once you get all set up I will want to buy a set too.

Oh my, your store has taken off! I love it. Lots of really great ideas. You really have a great start. Selling off of ebay or etsy or one of the online stores is a great idea. Maybe going to farmers markets with them. The ideas just keep flowing. Adding farm info/advertisement might get tricky on the smaller signs but you could set a minimun size for those. I certainly would be interested. You already have a bunch of goat lovers falling all over themselves for them. I really think you are on to something.
