A million dollars each.....Now the directions to my farm....On second thought I can deliver them for free at the above mentioned price.

Boy that is a tough question around here yearlings are about $100 or so and three year old milkers are $300 and up. Star milkers 2000 lbs of milk in 200 days are $1500 and up.

MePreach,

This is a tough questions to answer as the prices jump for me here in missouri with in a few miles I can be in three different areas and states. If you would supply a general area then we might be able to be of more assistance.

it also depends on what quality of goat you want. Not so good quality, cheap... Great quality with good lines, expensive. It also varies state to state. Here, I'd expect to pay at LEAST 150 for lamancha doe kids, and at LEAST the same for pb boer does. More for bucks, because you want to buy the BEST buck you can possibly afford. He's half your genetics, remember.

Depends on genetics, time of year, etc. I just sold two nice percentage boer does, bred, for "meat prices". Needed the room and marital stability with other 5 does getting ready to kid...Last summer I paid an arm and a leg for a show quality boer buck out of incredible bloodlines. He is outside bloodlines brought in to improve my breeding stock so it was an investment. Paid for himself through outside breedings.

I have a Registered Grade Alpine that did that as a first freshner. Dang! I guess she's a keeper, huh!
