This is one of the Mini does I sold, my favorite. Her name is Eden, and she was an alpine/mini cross. It was SO hard selling her. (Caprice Acres Nocturne)

These are the last two mini does I sold this year. They were all keepers, but I really needed to downsize my mini her to as small as possible. The first is Ida, and the second is Havyn. Hayvn is all paid for but is still here for the time being, until the buyers are set up to get her. They want to arrange for another goat for a friend as well, so she's not alone.I don't mind.

Meet the "Edibles". They are two wethers who are hopefully gonna be butchered this saturday, if I can get some help. The younger, smaller one, is only now like 3 months old, while the other is like 6 months. They're both minis so they're not huge, but they should still be tasty, lol. The smaller one was gonna be a herdsire, but I tried separating him from the doe herd and he keeps escaping, so I just fixed him... it's not worth getting my does preggo when I don't want them in that condition yet, lol.

Beautiful goats. I'd like to know how much meat you get from your wethers when you butcher them.

Great pics. I'd help you butcher if you were closer. I'll bet there is a surprising amount of meat on those little guys. I've got two Boer wethers I need to do on the next cool day. And I need to do the hermaphrodite.

I'll weigh them 'live weight' and also butchered... I'll probably start another thread.
